Balaton, Recreational water area in Bartodziejach, Bydgoszcz, Poland

The lake extends over 5.16 hectares, featuring distinct shoreline sections including a sandy beach, peninsula, and reinforced banks with stone gabions.

The water reservoir originated from a brick factory excavation site operating since 1886, filling with water after World War II when clay extraction ceased.

The lake functions as a central gathering place for Bydgoszcz residents, offering swimming areas in summer and transforming into an ice rink during winter months.

The southern section includes a small marina and sailing school constructed in 2008, managed by the Zjednoczeni Sports Club for water sports training.

The lake's development coincided with the construction of the Bartodzieje residential district in the 1970s, becoming an integral part of local recreation infrastructure.
