When it’s time for a cosy hot drink, there are plenty of inviting spots to choose from. Timber Lodge Cafe, right beside the Tumbling Bay Playground, is perfect for families, offering warming hot drinks and a fully stocked bar. If you fancy accompanying your drink with a sweet Japanese treat, Tsujiri by the river is also a fan-favourite. You can also try out Saint Espresso at Here East who roast its beans on site for coffee lovers who want the real deal.

If you’re looking for a quieter moment, the Park’s paths and gardens offer a beautiful escape. Take a winter walk, breathe in the crisp air, and see if you can spot some of the wildlife that makes its home here. On a crisp and sunny day, the views across the waterways and parklands are especially magical.
