The park was originally developed on a former island formed by the Irtysh River, which was later partially connected to the mainland through land reclamation.
The park is home to a dedicated 'water stadium' area used for summer swimming and rowing activities.
It hosts an annual 'Sand Festival' which showcases elaborate sculptures created by local artists along the river beach.
A specialized eco-trail exists within the park to educate visitors on the local riparian flora and fauna.
The park contains a vintage amusement area featuring several Soviet-era rides that remain operational.
Zelenyy Ostrov, or Green Island, is a prominent 74-hectare recreational park located on the banks of the Irtysh River in Omsk. The park features an extensive network of pedestrian paths, cycling lanes, and sports facilities, including an ice rink during winter months. It serves as a central hub for outdoor activities, hosting seasonal festivals, outdoor concerts, and various rental services for recreational equipment. The landscape includes a mix of wooded areas and open green spaces directly adjacent to the river shoreline. Significant recent renovations have integrated modern lighting, updated pathways, and upgraded children's play zones into the existing park structure.

Bring insect repellent, as the proximity to the Irtysh River results in a high density of mosquitoes during the summer months.
Utilize the bicycle rental stations located near the main entrance to navigate the park's large perimeter efficiently.
Visit the western river-facing side during the evening to view the sunset over the Irtysh.
Do not attempt to swim in areas of the Irtysh River outside of the officially designated and lifeguard-monitored beach zones.
