Pop into the Blackbird Café at The Pavilion on the Park for a coffee or a light breakfast. It is just a short five-minute walk from the leisure centre and opens at 09:00.
09:30
Stroll over to The Pavilion on the Park itself. This community venue sits on the corner of Kingfisher Rd and offers a nice spot to rest or people-watch.

Head to Lakeside Country Park. This area was left behind by gravel extraction for the M27 Motorway and now features three large flooded holes. It provides a pleasant green belt between Southampton and Eastleigh, perfect for a walk.
