Parks & Nature

This is the original source of water of early Auckland and is now a beautiful lake of many different bird species, little walking trails and a new Japanese garden. It sits between Auckland zoo and MOTAT (museum of transport and technology), and Western Springs stadium which is a natural amphitheatre formed from an early era volcano and is where many concerts and sports events are held.
