We have installed drinking fountains in various locations across the Vale. The initiative aims to reduce the use of disposable plastic bottles and encourage use of refillable water bottles.
Many are located in areas close to outdoor sports, gym and play facilities, encouraging people to stay hydrated during their activities.
Since 2019 we have installed fountains at:
Barry – Central Park, Knap Gardens, Romilly Park, Upper Gladstone Gardens, Barry Island Promenade.
Penarth – New Cogan Leisure Centre Skate Park, Cliff Walk, Penarth Seafront.
St Athan – Lougher Place.
Dinas Powys – The Murch or Bryn y Don Playing Fields.
Ogmore-By-Sea – Main Car Park.
The areas have been selected due to the high foot traffic and number of visitors.
In addition, over 1,600 locations offering water refills in Wales can be found at Refill Wales(External link) and their associated app.
