A popular Cardiff park is to be shut until the end of the year as essential maintenance work continues. Grangemoor Park in Grangetown was closed to the public on January 31 this year to allow for work to commence on the former landfill site underneath the park.
The park was initially due to be closed until the middle of June. However, Cardiff Council has confirmed that while half of the work has already been completed, works will continue until the end of the year with the park remaining closed to the public during that time.
The work is being carried out to renew leachate and methane gas equipment on the former landfill site underneath the park. The site at Ferry Road, which took in 4 million tonnes of rubbish before its closure, has been leaking leachate into the Bay since at least 2017.
