Llandaff Fields is a prominent 16-hectare municipal park located along the banks of the River Taff in Cardiff. The site is designated as a Grade II listed historic park, preserving its 19th-century layout. The grounds feature a mix of formal landscapes, mature ornamental trees, and expansive open recreational spaces. It serves as a northern link in the Bute Park and Llandaff Fields green corridor, which stretches towards the city center. Facilities include public tennis courts, a café, and a children's play area. The park maintains large swathes of semi-natural meadowland to encourage local biodiversity. A notable feature is the presence of several veteran trees that predate the modern park's formal landscaping. The site acts as a key flood plain buffer for the River Taff. It remains one of the most significant public green spaces in the Pontcanna district.
