Please note that Park in Welsh is spelt Parc. Just in case you were wondering why there was a spelling mistake in the park name board.
I was always told, (50 years ago) as a small child that the person the park was named after, (Williams) donated the park to the Loughor Urban District Council, & the people of Loughor, where he spent his childhood & grew up.
The story goes, that he worked in a local foundry, & went to the USA to make his fortune, in the steel industry.
The Park has plaques on the gate showing, that it was once administered by 'Llwchwr Urban District Council' It is now the responsability of the City & County of Swansea.
The ameneties available in this park are,Bandstand, Bowling Green, Childrens Playground, Football Fields, Pavillion, Skateboard / BMX Ramps, & Tennis Courts.
