One my favourite places for sports - not just rowing but cycling (separate lane around the rowing canal), running and walking. Also great if you just want to chill with friends at one of the many cafés/restaurants by the water, or maybe walk through the trails in the neighboring forest or visit the zoo..
(Just don't forget your anti mosquito spray during summer evenings!)
