The 'dreadful' state of a much-loved Cardiff park as it finally re-opens after being closed for nearly a year

A Cardiff park has been left looking like a "bomb site" after it re-opened to the public having been closed for nearly a year. Grangemoor Park in Grangetown was closed to the public in January last year as essential maintenance work was carried out on the former landfill site underneath it.

The park was initially due to be closed until the middle of June, but work continued until the end of the year, with the park finally re-opening in December. Get the latest news from across Cardiff sent straight to your inbox by signing up to our free newsletter.

However, while the long-awaited re-opening was welcomed by local residents last month, they have been left dismayed by the state that the park has been left in after the work was carried out. Photos show that sculptures in the park have been targeted with graffiti, while gates and entrances have been broken and made inaccessible.
