The park is known for its numerous restaurants, bars and nightclubs. The famous Arcadia Beach is located here. The best known place in the park is its Central Avenue, which threads down from Genuezska Street to the sea coast, where the beach is located.

Extensive reconstruction of the park, mostly on its Central Avenue, was started in January 2014. Nearly all the plants and greenery were demolished, and the central avenue was covered with granite pavement tiles. Also, massive marble fountains and planters were constructed. The fountains are covered by plywood in the winter time. A few trees, mainly pines and palms, imported from Italy, were planted.
