Just like the elements that make up the traditional Girikh ornament, the functions of the park are intertwined into a single whole, creating a cycle of events, meetings, communication, acquaintances, etc.
The future park is intended for local people to walk, relax in the shade, meet friends, visit festivals and holidays, play sports, jogging, cycling and much more. The tourists can taste local cuisine and meet the local flavor, or take a walk near their hotel or embassy. The project pays special attention to the kitchen. The main street connects two entrances of the park, it is the Food Promenade - a platform for culinary ambassadors of world cuisines. Each pavilion is unique and represents the architectural features of different countries which cuisines it represents.
