Aberdare Park is well-preserved Victorian public park located in the village of Trecynon, near the town of Aberdare in South Wales.
The park occupies nearly fifty acres (20.25ha). It opened on 27th July 1869. It was landscaped and planted by William Barron who had laid out many parks in England. The park was created at the instigation of R.H. Rhys.
In 1956 the National Eisteddfod was held in the park. A Gorsedd circle was erected to commemorate this event, the stone circle still remaining.
