Waurn Ponds is home to the quite small Waurn Ponds Creek.
It starts around the Mount Moriac region and eventually flows into the Barwon River near Belmont Common.

As of 2007, it is low on water and is no more than 1 meter deep in most sections.
It has a large weed problem which makes the creek look uninhabitable.
The creek is home to species of fish (many introduced) including Carp, Redfin, Roach, Tench, Australian Grayling and short finned eels.
The creek also is a large habitat of native birds including the pacific black duck.
Increase in annual rain will bring the creek back to its original status.

Waurn Ponds has a large linear parkland following the creek.
The neighbouring suburb of Grovedale has a skate park and baseball complex.

The boundaries of Waurn Ponds were expanded in 2012 when, as a result of boundary changes related to the development of the nearby Armstrong Creek Growth Area, an area of land in the west of the current suburb between the Princes Highway and the Geelong-Warrnambool railway line was shifted from the locality of Mount Duneed to Waurn Ponds.
