Western Springs is a residential suburb and park in the west of the city of Auckland in the north of New Zealand. It is located four kilometres to the west of the city centre. The park is situated to the north of State Highway 16 and the residential suburb is located southeast of the park on the opposite side of State Highway 16.
The suburb is dominated by the large park (featuring a lake with a variety of birdlife), within which are situated Auckland Zoo, Western Springs Stadium and M.O.T.A.T. (the Museum of Transport and Technology). The park is the location of the annual Pasifika Festival, one of Auckland's most popular public events.
Across the road from the Zoo is the school of Western Springs College, with a student population of around 1050. Some students attend Mount Albert Grammar School. Catholic students commute to St Paul's College or St Mary's College, Marist College or St Peter's College.
The Māori valued Waiorea (Western Springs) for the clean, clear spring water and the eels that lived in the stream. After colonisation, the area was part of a block of land farmed by a Scottish settler called William Motion.

Western Springs Lakeside, Auckland! Motions Creek Weir and The Waters of the Eel. Water flows into the Western Springs from the lava flows and ash fields of the surrounding Waitemata volcanic field including Owairaka (Mt Albert), Te Tatua (Three Kings) and Maungawhau (Mt Eden). Water also flows in from the Meola-Motions Stream watershed through the Waitemata Formation. From the Western Springs the water flows to the lake and then through the Motions Creek to the sea. The daily discharge of the Western Springs is estimated to be 1 to 2 million gallons. The waters of the Western Springs served as the major water supply for Auckland from 1877 until 1902.

Travel video about destination Lake Bogoria. Lake Bogoria is one of the most fascinating lakes of the Great Rift Valley that physically divides Kenya. The Lake Bogoria National Reserve was founded in 1970 and today covers an area of a hundred and seven square kilometres. Unlike most of Kenya's other nature reserves the area around Lake Bogoria has not yet become a busy safari destination thus it is calm and tranquil. It contains several remote and peaceful areas in which animals, and particularly flamingos, can be observed at close quarters. Along the western shores of the lake hot water geysers shoot up into the air. They indicate the subterranean energy of this volcanic region. The flamingos inhabit the opposite shores due to the high temperatures and sulphurous gases.At Lake Bogoria bot...

Having finally concluded the real estate transaction in Morrison, IL that has been taking up most of my time the last two months, it was time for some railfanning. I spent most of my morning on the BNSF Racetrack in Western Springs, IL, where I observed a Bentley and a Maserati as well as lots of trains! But my day wasn’t entirely confined to the Chicago area, as I was able to make a few cool catches on the way back home to Rockford as well. First, the trains at Western Springs. The station here (I believe) dates to Burlington Route days, and so is quite picturesque, but the platforms are rather narrow which makes photography a challenge. Train 1, BNSF 6629 East, mixed freight BNSF ES44C4 6629, ES44DC 7476, and ES44AC 6132 Train 2, Metra 1306, inbound Metra cab car 8608 and F40PHM-2 ...
