Parks

In addition to numerous small playing areas throughout the city, Newport has four beautiful parks for public recreation.

Belle Vue Park

Belle Vue is a Grade 2 listed park close to the city centre, on Cardiff Road. The park has a bowling green, bandstand and children’s play area.

Following a successful bid to the Heritage Lottery Fund, the Belle Vue Park restoration project recreated the original Edwardian planting scheme and restored the park buildings.

Beechwood Park

Current facilities include children’s play areas, bowling green and pavilion, multi-use recreation area and tennis courts.

Tredegar Park
