What Is a Recreation Pond?

Recreation ponds are swimmable water features that combine the look of a scenic pond with the function of a swimming pool. Instead of harsh chemicals and plastic liners, we use gravel, aquatic plants, and natural filtration to create a balanced ecosystem that’s safe for swimming and beautiful year-round. At Songbird Ponds, we design each recreation pond to fit your space, from small backyard dips to multi-level aquatic retreats. It’s everything you love about nature — right outside your door.

Why Homeowners Love Rec Ponds

Recreation ponds offer the perfect blend of beauty, health, and fun. With no chlorine or salt systems, they’re safer for sensitive skin and better for the environment. Our systems use bog filters and skimmers to keep water clear and swimmable, while natural stone and plants create a stunning landscape centerpiece. Whether you're swimming, wading, or simply relaxing beside the water, your recreation pond adds year-round value — and brings the whole family outside.

Outdoor Living That Lasts All Seasons

Unlike traditional pools that sit unused in colder months, recreation ponds remain beautiful all year. In summer, they offer crystal-clear swimming. In fall and winter, they become tranquil reflecting pools. With proper filtration and thoughtful planting, these systems are both functional and low-maintenance — giving you outdoor enjoyment with fewer chemicals, fewer costs, and far more natural charm.
