Residents of Ferndale can now sleep easy knowing that the Greenwood Park Dragon, that was controversially dug up and placed in “storage” last year, is once again proudly on display for everyone to enjoy.
Enter The Dragon
The dragon was an art installation which sat at the entrance to Greenwood Park, Ferndale, and gave joy to children and adults alike for many years, and now following its removal last year, has been given a new job, protecting the Rhondda’s most famous slag heap, Old Smokey, from erosion caused by off road motor bikes.
The dragon has been placed across a break in a fence to deter off road bikes from riding up and down Old Smokey, which prominently stands overlooking Tylorstown.
Councillor, Lyndon Flaps told My Rhondda News, “We believe we have found the perfect resting place for our famous dragon. Even Daenerys Targaryen from Game of Thrones would be happy with this, a dragon guarding old smokey, it’s like a partnership forged in the Fires of Mordor from Lord of the Rings.”
Way of the Dragon
Mary Fringe from Blaenllechau, whose nephew rides an off road motor bike, told us, “It’s absolutely ridiculous really, my little Jack has to ride an extra fifty yards to find another gap in the fence to get to Old Smokey, I think the council should have thought of the environmental impact from the extra petrol he and his mates are using to get around the dragon.”
