Margam Country Park

There is currently a lack of reliable car parking, particularly when ground conditions are wet; only 180 all-weather car parking spaces available. Additionally, the Orangery is a large wedding venue and conference venue, and over the last 2 years the range of events offered have increased; holding over forty major and minor events annually. In order to improve the visitor experience and meet its potential for larger and high profile events, investment is needed in creating more reliable parking spaces. The project is therefore the installation of a grass reinforcement system across 7,300 sq. metres of existing grassed car parks, supporting an additional 300 all-weather spaces. This would not only provide more all-weather car parking but would create a surface suitable for more frequent and heavier vehicle, providing reliable parking provision suitable for access by coach operators and allow the park to offer a diverse range of events during the Autumn and Winter months such as high quality food festivals, music and sporting events and Christmas themed events.
