The Kleine Bornhorster See with its sandy beach and sunbathing areas is located to the north of the city on the eastern side of the A29 motorway. The Kleinen Bornhorster See has a station of the DLRG, the German Lifeguard Association, and is therefore an officially sanctioned swimming lake.

The Grosse Bornhorster See is nearby and is a great place to go for walks.

Although the Woldsee is not actually inside the Oldenburg city limits, it is popular among the residents of Oldenburg as it is officially sanctioned as a swimming lake. There is a DLRG station (German Lifeguard Association), a kiosk and sanitary facilities. The lake can also be easily reached by bike: Simply ride from the Drögen-Hasen-Weg in Wechloy along the railway line towards Bad Zwischenahn. The Woldsee is located on the left after around five kilometres.

Other recreational lakes are the Tweelbäker See with  beach volleyball courts, the Drielaker See in Osternburg, the Nadorster Flötenteich and the Swartemoor in Ofenerdiek.
