Llandaff Fields is a large parkland spanning parts of central and northern Cardiff, Wales. The park is owned by Cardiff Council and managed by its Parks department. The parkland is highly visible and accessed from local communities. The parkland is lined with avenues of trees and large grassed areas. The park is also used for sporting events.〔(Cardiff Council: ''Llandaff Fields'' )〕 ==History== Llandaff Fields were purchased for Cardiff Council from the mill-owning Thompson Family in 1898. The park is located on a historically important route between the city centre and Llandaff.〔 In 1860, an extension of the park northwards for athletic purposes was announced, and took place in 1879, merging with Pontcanna Fields. Development of the park took place between 1899 and 1901. Three cricket pitches, a hockey pitch and a tennis court were added. Plans were submitted for a swimming pool, which closed early 1990s .Features such as a fountain pool, rockery and fern dell were mentioned in the area in a gardening magazine in 1923, but have since gone. of the fields were used for allotments during the war.〔(Coflein.gov.uk )〕 The 2008 National Eisteddfod was held on Llandaff Fields, the consequence of which was still a problem in April 2010 after a part of the fields remained water logged. Cardiff Council has since announced £400,000 redevelopment plans for the pitches with under-soil drains.〔(Wales Online: ''No, it’s not a lake, it’s Llandaff Fields!'' )〕 In July 2010 Cardiff Council rejected an application for a car park outside the University of Wales Institute, Cardiff, citing that it would harm the character and appearance of the Llandaff Conservation Area, result in the loss of open space in the city, and worsen traffic congestion on Western Avenue.〔(GuardianCardiff | Llandaff Fields car park refused )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Llandaff Fields」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
