About Manselton Park
Manselton Park is a small urban park in the Manselton area of Swansea, managed by Swansea Council, with mature trees, open grass areas, benches and a children's playground. Its play area was upgraded as part of the council's play areas renewal project, with a strong emphasis on inclusive play: alongside multiplay units and swings it offers a basket swing, a flush roundabout that wheelchair users can access, a wide slide and communication boards to help disabled youngsters and their families enjoy the equipment. The park has three entrances with differing levels of accessibility: Gate 1 on Manor Road and Gate 2 on St Johns Road each have a gentle incline and are described as accessible to all, while Gate 3 at the Racecourse side is steeper and suitable for some disability groups only. Entry is free. There is no dedicated car park, so visitors use on-street parking in the surrounding streets. As a compact, well-kept neighbourhood green space it is well suited to a local play session for families living nearby, with a modern inclusive playground at its heart.
