Swansea Crown Court is housed in a building situated on the far south-west corner of Sandfields, opposite the city's Guildhall.
Located at the east end of Sandfields is the former site of the Vetch Field football ground, home of Swansea City A.F.C.
Small privately owned hotels and guest houses line Oystermouth Road, the southern sea-facing boundary of Sandfields.
On the foreshore, behind the Civic Centre, prehistoric fish traps and possible track ways have been found, estimated to be over 5,000 years old.
In May 2012, the Sandfields Community Association published Blood and Thunder, Rough and Tumble by historian Andrew Vollans.
