A Day of Outdoor Fun in The Gables

Within the evergreen The Hills Shire, you will find The Gables, a community neighbourhood designed with families and green spaces in mind. From imaginative playgrounds to quality sports grounds and amenities, it’s an inviting place to spend a day outdoors. Located on Dharug land, join WEST as we take you on a day of exploring. 


Whilst driving through The Gables, you’ll notice a neighbourhood of manicured gardens, stylish, tidy homes and tree-lined streets. A Stockland masterplanned community, new scaffolding is also within sight, with hundreds of new home builds underway and many more planned. 

 

Arriving at Bobby Bakehouse, it’s one of those places you stumble upon, and are so happy you did. Framed by timber pylons and corrugated iron roofing with hanging plants and plenty of seating, it's an inviting space where you might easily spend hours.

 


Their shelves are stocked with goodies, from scrumptious pastries baked locally at Glenorie Bakery, to flaky filled pies (the beef brisket is a fave) as well as sandwiches and sweet treats. The ham and cheese Danish is packed with chunky ham and melted cheese, you’ll want to get your hands on these.

 

Picking up your Essential Coffee is a fun, quirky surprise, with the kitchen cleverly housed in a big blue bus. Very photo-worthy! For our sweet tooth friends, you’ll love the fresh donuts and ice-cream served from the trailers on site.


 

Throughout The Gables, there are playgrounds for every imagination. Stargazing Park has fantastic UFO themed equipment and constellation star steps to climb (some even glow at night), Wheelie Park with bike tracks for kids that love to vroom, Orchard Park has an Alice in Wonderland themed set and Slidey Park with, you guessed it, slides galore.



There are also hockey fields, tennis courts, basketball courts, a skate park and more, encouraging lots of outdoor play and active time together. Great for the family on a day out. 



After working up an appetite, head to the Stockland Gables Town Centre for some excellent food options. Choose from Ogalo, La Taqueria, Dream Kebab House, Sushi Hub and C9 Chocolate and Gelato depending what you’re craving. Cafe Capri is a favourite for their spacious indoor-outdoor seating and delicious food, the tacos with battered fish, sesame dressing and coleslaw has flavour that sings.



A day out in The Gables is ideal for the outdoor enthusiast, discovering great food, creative spaces to play, a friendly welcoming community and plenty to discover and explore. If you’re looking for a fun, active day outdoors, why not explore with WEST and plan your own day of exploring by heading to The Hills. Explore with West.
