An idea to create more space for events at Pontypridd’s Ynysangharad War Memorial Park is being considered. A report to cabinet on Monday, May 15, mentions a potential redevelopment opportunity for an event space within the park, which will support major events.
A feasibility report on the potential to introduce an events space at the large green area near the bridge from Llys Cadwyn has been produced and the proposal is for the upper plateau of the former pitch and putt course to be flattened to make a more useable green space which can be used for events. It is also proposed that new footways and seating areas be introduced with the area under consideration previously being the site of a pitch and putt golf course and later used for footgolf.
The report said it has not been formally used for some time and currently offers little amenity value due to the undulating topography designed for golf. It added that the space has the potential for an events area and community gatherings that can be enjoyed by all whilst retaining as much usable green space as possible.
