029 2067 3000Belle Vue Park is a small late-Victorian park in central Penarth set in tree-lined streets and bordered by informal groupings of terraced and semi-detached villas. The site has been improved over the last few years working in conjunction with the community, the Friends of Belle Vue Park, who have worked with enthusiasm to keep the standards of the Park high working in close collaboration with the Parks Division. Improvements made in the last few years that include refurbished benches, new gates and dog-proof fencing, new signage, new path surfaces, additional tree planting, the installation of two new artworks, and a completely refurbished play area. These have now added to the overall ambience of the park. Not only did the Friends group provide the inspiration, but it also raised most of the funding for these exciting new developments. The revitalised park is now the venue for a varied and stimulating programme of events organised by the Friends group, and has become a focus for the local community.
