What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors praise Thomastown Park for its excellent, well-maintained playground, particularly for older children, and its lovely surrounding views. The new cafe is a welcome addition, offering friendly service and homemade treats. The main drawback consistently mentioned is the unreliable or unavailable toilet facilities.
"It's a lovely park that is well maintained and the playground itself is great as there's stuff here for kids that are older than 5 years old. We've been here at various times of the day and the only issue we've had is the toilets not being open. Even the older kids that you will sometimes see in here seem to be decent.
I'd go as far to say that this is the best playground in Merthyr Tydfil."

"Lovely walk tiday, the park is always nice and the area surrounding the park has a fabulous view, with a warning memorial, bowls club and tennis courts all opposite. There is a small family run cafe that has recently opened, called in and had a cup of coffee and home made cake..it was lovely, good choice of sweet and savoury foods and the staff were so friendly and welcoming..we were lucky it was dry so sat outside overlooking the park."
