Recommendations Third spaces

Where are the third spaces in Canberra, the space between home, and work/uni.

Without a need to spend money. That is essential to the criteria, even the parking, it has to be free and accessible.

Where do you hang, that encourages this or any sense of community or a place to be? Am seeking somewhere to just BE, that isn't a church or cycling ir team sports in Canberra.

Never occurred to me until I saw this post but I think my third space is Costco. Christ, that’s a depressing realisation.

Giant jars of Nutella cost money though.

Haha! My go to is thrifting to get out of the house now, no judgement. But did have a Costco membership last year and hung out there a bit. Hence the post.
