About

Waunarlwydd is a residential ward located to the northwest of Swansea city centre, bordered by the main A483 road and the Loughor estuary. The area is primarily composed of housing estates, local shops, and community facilities. Its landscape is characterised by open green spaces, including the large area of Waunarlwydd Park, which provides recreational space for residents. The ward maintains a distinct separation from the neighbouring industrial zones, creating a quieter suburban environment.

The community is served by its own primary school and social club, with strong local ties. A notable local landmark is the historic Waunarlwydd RFC rugby club, which has been a focal point for the area for over a century. The ward's proximity to the estuary means some parts offer views across the water towards Llanelli. Transport links are provided by regular bus services connecting residents to Swansea and Gorseinon.
