The Community Garden, located between Folly Lane and Folly Road, was officially opened in July 2009. Its focal point is a beacon which was originally erected in the Folly Tower car park and lit on New Year’s Eve 1993. It was later moved to the grounds of Trevethin Community School. After the school's closure in 2007, the beacon was stored in Pontypool Museum before installation here.
