A new "pop-up park" is being set up in Swansea city centre in time for the school summer holidays. The temporary green park aims to help boost people's health and wellbeing in the city centre and improve the area's biodiversity, as well as show the potential for future "urban planting" options in Swansea.
The park has been planned and arranged by Swansea Council and is being delivered in partnership with Natural Resources Wales and the Welsh Government's Local Places for Nature Challenge Fund. It's being installed this week in front of the Iceland supermarket in the former St David's Shopping Centre at St David's Place, a very short stroll from the Quadrant Centre and Swansea Arena.
There will be more than 40 wooden planters of different themes, including "wild meadows," "cliffs and dunes" and "natural hedgerows" placed there for people to enjoy. You can get more Swansea news and other story updates straight to your inbox by subscribing to our newsletters here.
