Anderson Fields

Anderson fields is a green space in the heart of Adamsdown that has recently been liberally sprinkled with beautiful alien fun-​structures.
These new structures include alternative football goals, some small grassy hills and totem sculptures, added to what was before an open, flat space with not a lot to do.
When I visited Anderson fields there were kids sitting chatting on a ‘skeletal boat’ structure, a young mum and her toddler walking, some boys playing football, two men sitting in a seating pod listening to a radio and Brian, an artist in residence, carving totems.
This landscaped oasis was designed by artists, with the help of school children from the neighbouring Adamsdown Primary. It was designed to be used by the under 14’s in particular. The playground is full of practical art to play on and sit on and slide down, all built from quality, natural materials such as oak and steel.
Judging by my recent visit the new space is being well used and enjoyed by all.
