Sketty Park
This area is centred around a council estate, although much of the housing has been bought by the former tenants under the right to buy scheme. The edges of the Sketty Park area have housing more typical of other areas of Sketty and Derwen Fawr. A parade of shops (including a sub post office and supermarket, food takeway and newsagent) and the Hen Dderwen public house are located in the centre of the area. Parklands Primary School and Olchfa Comprehensive School are located in the area. There is also a large church, Parklands Evangelical Church.

Famous quotes containing the word park:
“Is a park any better than a coal mine? What’s a mountain got that a slag pile hasn’t? What would you rather have in your garden—an almond tree or an oil well?”
—Jean Giraudoux (1882–1944)
