Melbourne's Westgate Park lake turn Pink. A salt on the senses: Vibrant pink lake sends Melbourne . A cocktail of extreme salt levels, algae and roasting conditions has turned a Melbourne city lake a vibrant pink. Authorities, however, are warning people not to take a dip in the warm glowing waters. The sudden color transformation of a Melbourne’s Westgate Park lake from blue to pink has sent shutterbugs, keen to capture images of the candy coloured lagoon, into overdrive. The lake near Port Phillip Bay turns a reddish-pink every year due to “very high salt levels, high temperatures, sunlight and lack of rainfall,” according to Parks Victoria.
