Your Mill Park Starter Guide: Coffee, Playgrounds and Weekend Ideas

In this second episode of The Voice of Mill Park, I take you on a practical tour of things to do around Mill Park and nearby. From grabbing a solid coffee at local cafés around The Stables, Rivergum and Mill Park Drive, to catching a movie at Plenty Valley, there’s plenty on offer without straying far from home. I also touch on family‑friendly spots like Kalinac Reserve’s oval, cricket nets and nearby bike trails along the Plenty Gorge side, splash‑pad style play equipment off Childs Road, Mill Park Leisure Centre, tennis courts and more—plus quick escapes to Bundoora Park for farms, playgrounds and a hit of golf.  I share why I love living here—quiet streets, loads to do, and easy ways to get the kids outdoors—and invite you to help shape future episodes with your tips, corrections and local favourites. This project runs on a value‑for‑value approach, so if you get something from it, send through your time or talent, and let’s build a useful local resource together.
