Training in Roath Park
A lake loop, Pilates and taekwon-do.
Roath Park's list is short and mostly coached. Cardiff Pilates is Emma Carlson's practice, with classes, private lessons and reformer Pilates, and she teaches on Zoom too. SWAT Taekwon-Do teaches children from four, teenagers, adults and veterans, and many parents train alongside their children. Jellicoe Gardens Tennis Courts are here for a game.
The park itself is the training ground most people come for. Its lake, made by damming the Nant Fawr, is 1.3 miles round, and the path along the park's southern edge was widened for a cycle path in 2024. You can hire a rowing boat, and the Recreation Ground at the southern end has pitches for football, baseball and rugby. A lap of the lake is an easy first session to arrange with a training partner.
