Maritime Quarter

The area is bounded by Brynmill to the west, Swansea Bay to the South, the River Tawe to the east and the A4067 to the north.

The re-excavated South Dock was laid out into the award-winning Maritime Quarter by architect Robin Campbell, then head of Environmental Design at Swansea Council.

However, due to the busy thoroughfare of Quay Parade/Oystermouth Road, the Marina area remains separate from the city centre.

Campbell also worked in partnership with the developers to incorporate art designed by local artists into the buildings,[2] and the creation of an observatory.

Local residents have often expressed concerns over the safety of the lack of railings and indeed, over the years, the marina has seen a number of people drown after falling into the waters by accident.

On the far western end of the Maritime Quarter is the Civic Centre which houses government offices of the City and County of Swansea Council.
