Down at Pittwater Baseball fields to sample their roll with the lot. Was down there early for the first game so was able to get it fresh off the BBQ which is the only way to go. Unfortunately they like to use food warmers to store the eggs/bacon/sausage so they can be like warm/cold and soggy, you definitely need to get the first batch of the day or at least ask them to heat it up on BBQ so it tastes fresh. Pretty decent set up for the kids baseball games too, though not a lot of shade on a hot day so bring a hat or some sort of portable shade device.

I loved Rat park. Great place to watch a bit of code with the boys. Great facilities, easy parking and entry. A choice of seating.

A popular park to watch the Local Boys play footy. The volunteers there all do an amazing job with ticketing, Food and Support crew.
