Man-made lakes. They were swamplands dredged by the Ackerson Company. Each lake is named, and one of those is named "Nosrekca" (which is Ackerson, spelled backwards).
The lakes and their borders are considered parkland, and roadways cross the lakes via small bridges. One bridge has stairs leading below the bridge.
Ice skaters are often seen on the lake when they are frozen over.
