THE 19TH

The 19th is the perfect pitstop if you’re looking for a family day out that doesn’t involve the dreaded ‘are we there yet’ cries. Darren and his son enjoy junior parkrun, while other families rave about the impressive play area. It’s not just a bit of grass; there’s a whole play trail that’s well thought out and maintained. The cafe is clean, though maybe a bit pricey, but hey, where isn’t? Just don’t expect Michelin-star meals here; it’s more about the vibes and keeping the kids entertained.

It’s the kind of place where you can grab some coffee, let the kids run wild, and not worry about the cleanliness—because they’ve nailed that part. While it might not be the most thrilling gastronomic experience, if you’re after a day outdoors that comes with a side of coffee, this is your spot.
