Kiosk Lake
A named lake in Christchurch, at Christchurch Central.
Where it sits
The pin sits near the water’s middle; the strong outline is the suburb around it, the rest are its neighbours.
Can you swim here
Avon River/Ōtākaro downstream Fendalton Road bridge, the LAWA monitor that is ~800 m away, LAWA keeps it on special status, graded unsuitable for swimming.
A water-quality risk grade, not a live verdict, after heavy rain any spot can turn. LAWA (Land Air Water Aotearoa) files the Canterbury sites for Environment Canterbury; its page is the one to check on the day.

A named lake in Christchurch, at Christchurch Central, as the open map records it.
2 listed places within 300m of the pin, each opens its own record from this page.
The pin is OpenStreetMap’s own position for the lake, roughly the water’s middle. Neighbours on the register are near it, not the same record.
The record behind this
The position and the names are OpenStreetMap’s, a named lake, lagoon, wetland or spring inside the city boundary (ODbL). The dual names are recorded as the map carries them; a pin is the mapper’s position, not a surveyed mark.
