duck pond

Mallards' park home

A duck pond is a small body of water, natural or artificial, where ducks gather or are kept.

Parks and estates often feature duck ponds as attractions where visitors feed the birds: We took the kids to the duck pond with a bag of bread.

The term evokes a quaint, pastoral setting.
