The area was built up in the 1930s.[2] Prior to this, Elysian Grove, also known as Panglais Dingle,[3] referred to an area on the lower slopes of Panglais Hill.[4] It was well known as an entertainment venue, with an open-air stage during the summer, mainly offering concerts and pierrot.[3] There was also a pay-for-entry playground and woodland walks run by the Penglais Estate.[1][3] Live outdoor entertainment began on the site in the late 1890s and continued until 1926.[4] A contract for a 1,000-seat pavilion was tendered in 1908.[5] and built by 1910.[3] The remains of the stage, located slightly uphill of the start of Dan-Y-Coed, were still visible in the 1970s.[4]
