Beautiful setting!
Milkshakes after a stroll
The last day of school holidays, what a nice day for a stroll in Parramatta Park, followed by a milkshake at the
Parramatta Park Cafe with Alex and James! Parramatta Park is definitely one of my favourite spots for a bike ride, run, walk, picnic, game of cricket and now I can add "having a milkshake" to that list! It was a nice thick milkshake, but I have to admit the flavour was a little weak. The cafe closes at 3pm each day - and we didn't get there till 3:15pm, however, they were kind enough to serve us some take away and let us sit down (typical "get out" signals were still given, for example, mopping the floor and stacking the chairs around us, so we didn't stay too long). I have been to this cafe many times now though, and the service has been lovely, always a great spot to sit by the river and relax.
The cafe is found in a very picturesque spot in the park named "Little Coogee" which has been a very popular swimming spot in the past, in 1905 the local swimming club were given permission to use the area, proving they built a dressing shed and conformed to the bathing rules of the time. The park is packed with interesting history dating from 1788! Things to take a sneak peak at as you walk through the park include Old Government House, The Dairy Cottage, Government Farm and The Bath House.
