Yellow House Art Gallery

A big room of retro arcade games that works across ages. Go in the daytime: it turns into a bar later on.

Ice cream for the kids and espresso for you, from the same counter.

Crepes, sandwiches and room to sit, so a toddler gets something sweet while you get a proper coffee.

Duck ponds to walk around and open lawn to run on, with picnic tables for lunch after.

A skatepark under a bridge, where older kids skate and scooter and younger ones watch from the side. Riders come from every direction, so nobody wanders the course.

A quiet creekside spot with a big oak, a mosaic gazebo and a brick walk a stroller can manage. For a picnic, not a playground.
