A large park around a lake at 731 Great North Road in Western Springs, Auckland, near Auckland Zoo and MOTAT. Visitors walk, run and sit by the water, watching swans, ducks, birds and eels. There is a playground for children, and plenty of space for picnics and barbecues. The park is also used for events and concerts.
One visitor describes a peaceful walk of about 1.75 kilometres around the lake. Another says it is quiet and peaceful, but can be busy at weekends.
