There was also a pay-for-entry playground and woodland walks run by the Penglais Estate. Live outdoor entertainment began on the site in the late 1890s and continued until 1926. A contract for a 1,000-seat pavilion was tendered in 1908. and built by 1910. The remains of the stage, located slightly uphill of the start of Dan-Y-Coed, were still visible in the 1970s.
