Preserved as a nesting place for various birds, the pond and its surrounding wooded area is an important natural area. Encircling the pond is a track commonly used for recreational activities and sports, as well as a nature trail with plaques informing about the local wildlife. In the winter the frozen pond is a popular place for ice-skating.
