Got to love a day with the kids, the bikes/scooters and a couple of packets of bread, then ending the day with a play on the playground...

Take some old bread to feed the birds and load up the kids bikes for a fun day at the park. Good paths for kids to ride on.

Let the kids enjoy the sun, ride the scooters and fed the ducks

Good spot for the Fam, feed the ducks and right next door is Motat & Auckland Zoo

Great place to spend time. Very nice and relaxing watching the birds and kids play area.

When the weather’s nice, a picnic at Western Springs is just the thing. Bring a ball, soak up the sun, and bring some extra bread to feed the ducks. Just watch out for the big geese! It’s the perfect place to chill out after a trip to MOTAT or the zoo.

On a sunny day this place is awesome, take some old bread and let the kids feed the ducks and eels. have a walk around the lake and have a quick play in the play ground with some awesome animal noise from the zoo. This is defiantly a hit

A good place for a family day out especially for the young ones....duck ponds..eels...birds...the list goes on...its just amazing

Fabulous location for a fun family picnic.

Walk in this beautiful sanctuary of nature and keep fit!!
