It has a pier where boats can be rented for pleasure or riding in a small motor boat. There is also a kayaking school, whose facilities were opened in 1991. The lake is surrounded by a dozen drinks and meals and provides in the center of a large water fountain visible from across the ledge west of the city.

The Casa de Campo (Country House) is the largest urban park west of central Madrid, the capital of Spain. The park was formerly a royal hunting estate and covers more than 1,700 hectares (6.6 sq mi).

Casa de Campo is a popular attraction, especially with locals, containing an amusement park, the Parque de Atracciones de Madrid, and the Madrid Zoo. Families from Madrid often spend days in the park, enjoying the weather and looking at the wildlife, mostly squirrels, rabbits and different kinds of birds. This picture shows the lake in the south-east corner of Casa de Campo, which has seen an increase in prostitution in recent times. Nearby is Almudena Cathedral.

In 1936–39, during the Spanish Civil War, the front lines of the Siege of Madrid ran through the Casa de Campo, where the Republicans halted a nationalist offensive in November 1936.
