The welcome board is near the southern entrance to the park, from Romilly Park Road. The Vale of Glamorgan Council website states that Romilly Park (Parc Romilly in Welsh) is a CADW grade II listed park. It has a bowling green, tennis courts, children's play area, seasonal floral displays and a large open area for recreation. The park was originally constructed on land belonging to the Romilly family in 1898 and completed in 1911. It retains most of the original framework and features, including an attractive water and rockwork garden. In 1920, the National Eisteddfod of Wales was held in the park near the Gorsedd Circle which still stands today. The park also contains a wooded area with fine examples of specimen trees.
