Western Springs Park

This morning we went for a lovely round trip of the perimeter of the park which was very pram friendly with lots of wonderful variety of birds, native trees, clean lake water, and informative signage. The open green spaces perfect for future picnics and lots of chairs and tables dotted along the path as well as under the trees. The eels with the up and down bridge were a favourite! The playground is unmatched with lots of variety, colours, shade, seating, bins, all within nice proximity of the zoo cafe accessible from the park, next to the playground.

Awesome free $4-$6 to park in the zoo carpark day out with my active 2.5 year old. The playground is amazing for all aged kids, the park is well looked after. The path is smooth for scooters and bikes. Kids love all the ducks, swans and eels. And there are lots of picnic benches all around the water to stop for snacks. So easy.

A beautiful park in the middle of town, nestled between the zoo and MOTAT.nnIt's lovely to walk around the lake. There are benches to sit and tables for picnics. I just wish there were water fountains.nnGreat place for an afternoon stroll or to relax

Such a lovely park for kids to play and family. Im amazed at the number of black swans. It feels like a free zoo for us.

10's of 1000's, a village of food & craft filled White Teepee's, tonne of good vibes, Pacifika Festival hit the park. Props to the organisers keeping the park protected, humans and animals happy & safe. Sprinkling of security within the gig, visible presence securing the carpark area's. Solid 5 star performance and day. Catch it next year with a hungry empty belly and pockets lined .
