At the southeast entrance to the park from the corner of Glan Road and Hirwaun Road. Cadw records that Aberdare Park was laid out on part of Hirwaun Common on the instigation of R H Rhys, chairman of the local Board of Health "as a pleasant place for the dust-begrimed inhabitants". The park opened on July 27th 1869. A replacement for the originals, these gates (and the gate piers and flanking railings) were Grade II listed in 1991.
