Belgrade is lucky enough to have a bona-fide beach right smack in the middle of the wider downtown area. When sizzling asphalt becomes too hot for Belgraders, they can swim, sunbathe and simply, cool off, play some sports in the sun, rent a bike or roller skates.
Ada Ciganlija (the island of Gypsies) was a river island populated by Gypsies in the past. Word "ada" means river island in Turkish. Before WWII, there was a prison here, and the area was not of recreational value to Belgraders.
This began to change in the 1960s and 1970s when Ada became connected to the land.
Today, Ada is clean, urbanized and the visiting spot for many Belgraders.
Here are some of activities and sports offered at Ada: tennis courts, bike paths, volleyball courts, beach volleyball courts, soccer fields, five-a-side football fields, skateboarding ramps, rollerskating paths, basketball courts, a paintball field, baseball fields, bocce facilities, Water football facilities, rugby fields, kayaking facilities, an artificial rock climbing wall, chess facilities ,water slides, rowing facilities, diving range, artificial alpine skiing slope, artificial snowboarding slope, bungee jumping platform, trim trail fishing facilities, cable skiing facilities, canoeing facilities, water polo courts, pedalos, and a golf course.
Also, there are many restaurants and cafes on the beach. Many young people in the summer spend their nights here.
In the middle of the lake, there is a water jet fountain, akin to the one in Geneva. At night, there is a light show around the water jet.
Ada is very well connected to all other city areas with numerous buses and even a few special "Ada-bound" lines that criss-cross the city.
