As a parent, when I find a half decent café, on of the first things I do is to look around for playground(and vice-versa). In this case I had been heading up and down the Northern train line to try and find decent café options for each stop. Having been given a suggestion from a twitter friend of mine, I went to check out the Corner Café in Pennant Hills(review ). On the way there I noticed this nice little park. While not massive, it is big enough for a picnic, it has a decent play area and… it is close to decent coffee… :-) Fair enough, I may have a little vested interest in being able to take my boys to parks that have good coffee in easy reach… but that can’t be all bad… can it? :-)
