Maesteg Welfare Park
Maesteg Welfare Park is approximately nine point four hectares of formal parkland.
Owned by Bridgend County Borough Council, it includes rugby pitches, bowling greens, tennis courts, formal bedding and tree lined paths. A local festival takes place each summer in the park.
The park’s newer features include wildlife ponds, runoff channels, paths and a footbridge. These works have been made with the Friends of Maesteg Welfare Park.
Keeper of the Valley
The 'Keeper of the Valley' is one of our ‘Nature Keeper’ oak sculptures. They add interest to our beauty spots, and with the accompanying poetry, they capture the imagination of younger visitors by interweaving mythology into the sites.
Their aim is to spark an emotional connection to our green spaces, and so encourage people to visit as well as care more for them.
