The ledge around the base of the pond was also put there to provide a foothold for someone without the physical strength to climb out.
Good to know you've considered the safety aspects. I have a relative in Malaysia that had a koi pond with a low fence around it. How ever it did not have steps. One day His Doberman jumped/fell in and drowned while they were out.
