From feeding ducks and exploring the playground to racing around on scooters, bikes and trikes, Pentre Mawr Park has something to keep children of all ages entertained. For older children (and adults!) who love being on wheels, there's also a fantastic pump track.
It's much more than just a park. With a playground, Trac Pwmp Abergele, a skate park, tennis courts, open green space and a small lake, it's the sort of place you can pop to for an hour or make a longer day of it.
Exploring Pentre Mawr Park
One of the best things about Pentre Mawr Park is how easy it is to get around. The flat paths make it ideal for prams, scooters, bikes and trikes, so it's a good option whether you've got a newborn or older children who want to zoom ahead.
For younger children, the playground and duck pond are usually the biggest attractions. Older children will probably make a beeline for Trac Pwmp Abergele. Just bear in mind there isn't anywhere to hire bikes, scooters or BMXs here, so you'll need to bring your own.
The riding area has three zones, so there's something for different ages and abilities. Younger riders can build confidence on the beginner pump track, while more experienced riders can tackle the main pump track or have a go on the advanced jump line.
Away from the tracks, there are tennis courts and plenty of open space for a kickabout, a game of tag or simply letting the kids burn off some energy.
Planning your visit
Pentre Mawr Park is a great place to bring a picnic, with plenty of open space to spread out while the children play.
There is a small car park on site, but spaces are limited and it can fill up during busy periods. If that happens, there are plenty of nearby residential roads where you can park before taking a short walk over.
Public toilets are available by the cricket and rugby club, and Abergele town centre is only a few minutes' walk away if you need drinks, snacks or a last-minute ice cream.
If you've still got some energy left, Abergele Beach is only a short drive away, making it easy to turn your visit into a full day out.
The park also hosts community events throughout the year, so it's worth checking what's on before you visit.
Why parents love it
Flat paths that are great for prams, scooters, bikes and trikes with activities for toddlers through to teenagers. Shops, toilets and the beach all close by and its free and simple to visit.
Top Tip: If you're planning to use the pump track, don't forget to bring your own bike, scooter, skateboard or BMX, as there isn't a hire service on site. And if you've got younger children too, pack a little duck food (suitable for ducks) – it often ends up being the highlight of their visit!
