If its just some peace and quiet you are looking for in your day, then why not take a gentle stroll around the lake, and maybe find quiet spot to relax and enjoy the view. A nice slow stroll around the lake will take you 15 minutes or so. Then if it is nice and sunny, grab yourself a table outside the cafe, have a drink and watch the water activities. With so much safe open space to offer, then just let the children run free and enjoy themselves.
