Over 2500 event managers and animators were hired to arrange in the park public concerts, dances, quizzes and sport competitions. The park used to host the first gigantic cinema in Russia for 1200 seats.
In 2016 main entrance arch was refurbished to host the Museum of the Gorky Park history with the view point on its roof.

replicas of the WWII monuments; - limestone park statures carved during sculptural symposiums in the 2000s in the open air museum-workshop.
