Geocache Description:

Small Tupperware box. We particularly wanted a child friendly cache, so this is fairly easy and is suitable for small swaps. First cache went missing, but hopefully this will last a little longer (fingers crossed).

Brynmill Park

In 1852, the Bynmill Resevoir, which had been built in 1837, was purchased by the Swansea Works Company for £25,250. In 1871 the land surrounding the reservoir came under Swansea Corporation control. Since the land had been informally used for picnicking since the 1840’s, it was then developed as a formal park with the initial phases of construction taking place in the 1870’s. It soon became Swansea's first informal park. By 1913 the area had been officially named Brynmill Park.

The park has survived many changes over the years including a public glasshouse menagerie with a variety of animals from monkeys to guinea pigs and birds from parakeets to golden pheasants, a large rowing boat that took the paying public on trips around the lake and a large stock of course fish within the lake.

In 2006, The Heritage Lottery Fund awarded a grant for the restoration of Brynmill Park and work started on the refurbishment of the park in 2007. This development included the new Discovery Centre which now provides the park with a focus for exploring its history and wildlife. The large one way glass window enables visitors to view birds in their natural habitat without disturbing them.

The Bowling Green was the first in Swansea. It dates from c.1907 and is as popular today as when it first opened. The two clubs, Brynmill and St Gabriels, both celebrated their centenaries in 2007.

The new children’s play area is very popular with families all over Swansea, the large nest swing being particularly popular.
