Carmarthen Park

The velodrome is 405.38 metres long,[1] and is the centre piece of Carmarthen Park.

[4] The park as a whole, including the grassed area enclosed by the velodrome, is used for festivals, games, concerts, fairs, pop concerts, brass band recitals, historical re-enactments, jousting, circuses (non-animal), school and college field studies and team-building exercises.

The skateboard facility is popular with young people, and there is play equipment for children.

Sited on sloping, south-facing ground, the park forms a natural amphitheatre and is landscaped with mature trees.

Most of the original 1900 features are still present – including decorative iron entrance gates and bandstand.
