This is a great place for lunch... or when you can't be bothered cooking but feel like home made takeaway pasta. Its affordable and heartwarmingly good. I personally like the tommy sugo sauce that you pick to go with which ever pasta you like.

My favourite place to take the kids
This park is gorgeous for kids, You are right on the Swan river and yet have a fence around you for little ones safety. Occationally there is a coffee van but otherwise bring a picnic with you. There is a flying fox and swings of varied shapes. Its perfect for all abilities and ages and has both traditional swings and nature play.
