Singleton Boating Lake

Singleton Boating Lake & Crazy Golf 

Hire a pedalo and glide across the lake, you’ll know you’re in Swansea as it’s less Swallows and Amazons and more Swans and Dragons, but the adventure is just as good!  Then test your putting skills on the crazy golf course, all nestled in the lush greenery of Singleton Park – watch out for the dinosaurs hiding in the trees! 

Open 10am – 6pm daily during the summer holidays.
