| PARKS:
Sevenoaks Park, Virgil St/Sloper Road Also known
locally as "The Tan," after the long-gone tannery, this park is
also popular with football and baseball teams. The seven oaks give
its name and it is bordered too by the railway. There's now a legal
graffiti wall all along the railway side (a section is pictured
left), which has been colourfully painted over at two annual
graffiti and hip-hop events.
Grangemore Park, off Ferry Road/Cardiff Bay retail park.
A little oasis of wild flowers and grass, with a panoramic view
of the city and the Bay from the top. Hard to believe this used
to be an old landfill tip, where the only association with nature
was the clouds of seagulls which hovered over it. A short walk from
the retail park carpark to stone seats and industrial sculpture
at the top. Picnic area at the bottom and popular with dog walkers.
Opened in 2000, with a central feature at the top designed with
the help of Grangetown History Society. Artist Ian Randall, whose
Silent Links ironwork is the centrepiece said it is supposed to
reflect residents’ fears that Grangetown was being "nibbled at"
by overdevelopment but also that they wanted to re-state the area’s
strong identity – the sculpture’s links like the people were "firm
and interlocked with a sense of strength and unity." Served by
the No 9 bus.
