Jazero is the dominant feature of this part of the city and is set in the recreational area with the same name. This recreational area includes a cable skiing system, a boat rental provider, a sandy beach, multifunctional playgrounds, children's and full-size volleyball courts, and a number of catering facilities that are open to visitors during the summer. If the water is of good quality, you can bathe in it. During the swimming season, a lifeguard and rescue service is available. Between the lake and the river Hornad, there is a wooded area with footpaths and fire pits for grilling as well as a cycle path for cycling and rollerblading.[1][2][3] Fishing in allowed, provided that a license has been purchased.[4]
The cable skiing system, operated by Trixen, is used for both competition and recreational water skiing.[1]
Košické Benátky (literally: "Kosice Venice) is an annual event in which non-traditional sailing vessels are presented upon the lake.[5]
