About

Park ward is situated on the western side of Merthyr Tydfil town centre, encompassing a mix of residential and green spaces. The area is defined by its proximity to the River Taff and the main A465 Heads of the Valleys Road, which runs along its southern boundary. Housing primarily consists of Victorian and Edwardian terraced homes, with some more modern developments integrated into the landscape.

The ward contains Cyfarthfa Park, a large historic grounds featuring woodlands, playing fields, and a castle museum. This parkland is a central feature, providing recreational space and tracing its origins to the local iron industry. The terrain slopes noticeably from the higher ground near the park down towards the river valley and the town's commercial core below.
