• Swimming at your own risk, since it is a fishing ground rather than an official bathing area and a 110 kV power line crosses the lake, so keep young kids within reach
• Free Zorb roller for kids in the summer season, run on the water by the OCTOPUS rescue volunteers
• Free toilets and fountains, with public toilets by the Draždiak sports hall and drinking fountains at the playground

Veľký Draždiak is a 13-hectare lake left by gravel digging, ringed by lawns, a stony shore and a small trial sand beach. Swimming is allowed at your own risk: it is a fishing ground, not an official bathing area, and a summer water rescue team watches the shore.

There is a playground with a drinking fountain, changing cabins, loungers, snack bars, and swans and ducks on the water.
