The area was called Western Springs to differentiate it from the Springs in the Auckland Domain to the east of town. The main source of the water that feeds the Lake at Western Springs is rain falling on the slopes of the far off volcanoes of Three Kings, Mount Albert and Mount Eden. It then runs underground for several miles through the lava flows, and emerges from the ground at a constant rate that is well filtered from the miles of scoria rocks.
