Emergency teams were called to the park near Datchet, Berks, on August 6 after the youngster was reported missing.
She was found over an hour later and rushed to hospital, where she died.
The Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead said: “We have served a notice prohibiting all recreational activities associated with the lake until Liquid Leisure has satisfied the council they have suitable and sufficient risk assessments to prevent or reduce the risk of drowning.
They added: “We would like to express our deepest condolences to the girl’s family and friends.”
