Seasonal Burn
This wee burn originates from more than one source in the areas of Baillieston and Garrowhill and falls into the North Calder Water at Channel Banks near Calderpark. Once a free flowing natural burn as can be witnessed by the gully it has cut out over the eons. Since the 1950s most of the water that came into it was diverted into the urban drainage system and it is now only a real burn in times of consistent rain , however this may change as a suds pond has been constructed nearby to facilitate run-off from new housing developments.

Webster's Pond
Named after the family who inhabited the then nearby Calderpark House up till about 1931. The pond is not natural, it appeared over a period of time after the closure of Calderbank Colliery and is the result of subsidence due to coal mining. The surrounds were considerably enhanced in the 1970s by Youth Opportunities work programmes [the famous 'Yoppers'] supervised by the nearby zoo staff in a bid to include it as part of that.

Woodland by the North Calder
Looking towards the site of the now closed Glasgow Zoo from a new housing development. Judging from road layouts there are plans to build more houses here.
There are some mounds and artificial looking topography here which may be a former landfill site.
