Sporting types from the neighbourhood take their early morning swim in the cool waters, while around midday the shaded sunbathing lawn offers a multitude of working people a pleasant setting in which to eat their lunch outside. On warm summer weekends the lido may well have a truly Mediterranean flair when young people and other visitors meet up for a drink.

Access to the lake is via a flight of steps. The lake is unsupervised: those who choose to swim in it do so at their own risk. The kiosk is run by a private tenant.

Summer nights also see the 'Zug Open-air Cinema' held at the Siehbach lido.
