The land for the park was given by Lord Tredegar in 1891. Mawson won the competition (despite submitting designs for the wrong site) and the park opened in 1894. Mawson designed the layout for the park, and virtually all the buildings including terraces and tea pavilion, lodges, bridges, walls and gatepiers. Mawson became a landscape architect and town planner of international importance with commissions throughout Britain, and also in Canada and Greece.
The "Rustic Tea House" was built around 1910 (cost £135) to provide additional space for serving teas in rainy weather.
Wooden structure with hipped tiled roof supported on wooden pillars. Five bays by two of segmental arches with rails above rising to eaves. End bays, and 2 to NW, have diagonal lattice screens.
Listed for group value with adjacent listed Pavilion and Terraces.
