Sandy Water Park played a crucial part in the rebirth of the Llanelli coastline as it was the first of the major regeneration projects and was a stunning example of how an old derelict industrial site could be brought back to life.
 
For nearly 80 years, a giant steelworks dominated both the site and the town but that has now been replaced by tranquil urban parkland, which is enjoyed by thousands of visitors a year.

Sandy Water Park features a beautiful 16-acre lake that is a haven for all sorts of wildlife and has a resident flock of swans that can reach over 20 in number at certain times of the year.

Adjacent to Sandy Water Park are Festival Fields, which had the honour of hosting the National Eisteddfod at the turn of the new millennium.

It was the first site that had been purposely designed for the festival and has since been developed as an outdoor arena capable of holding a variety of events.
