The picturesque boulevard is located in front of the main administrative building of the city - Zaporizhia City Council. The first thing that catches your eye when walking along the boulevard is the “Watch of Lovers” and the art object “I love Zaporozhye”. An integral part of the boulevard is a network of fountains, the main of which is considered to be the “Fountain of Lovers”, in its basin there is a granite composition of paired hearts, symbolizing the unity of destinies and a strong family. Also here the symbol of unity has found its place - the bench of reconciliation, installed on the favorite meeting place of urban youth.
Another interesting and authentic artistic object is the sculpture composition of steelmakers and teachers from the “Zarechnaya street” - a combination of two sculptures that represent the two most popular and iconic professions for the city - the teacher and the steelmaker. Representatives of these professions were immortalized in the film "Spring on Zarechnaya street." This film has become a symbol of our city, in it is the history, soul and present of industrial Zaporozhye.
On the avenue of the boulevard is also a sculpture park "Wardings". Seven original sculptures of amulets seem to protect the city from war and other unpleasant events. Each sculpture of the park carries a certain symbolism. The park includes sculptures: Scythian Woman, Brothers, Angel Bird, Pokrov, Krest, a sculpture symbolizing the rich and fertile lands of Zaporozhye, a monument to Ukraine.
