There is a wide choice of accommodating options on the island - the spa specially equipped camping sites.

For the cultural entertainment, the island offers visiting the Landing stage

The natural reserve zone is a wild part of the island where human impact on the local flora and fauna is minimized.

The concept provides development of the existing berths and arrangement of a loop path with a small number of inner connections in order to prevent emergence of chaotic paths and tramping down the plants.

The main public zone is tightly connected with the city environment of Saratov by the cableway.

It concentrates the main public functions (a food-court, water sports, a restaurant, social and eductional centers, playgrounds for different age kids).

The eco-park zone is connected to the walk zone with a bridge from the public center and with a panoramic path around the holiday camps. The park is a developed territory with recreational areas, summerhouses, and eco-path system. It contains all types of greenery and landscape of the island (oakgroves, willow beds, poplar groves, coastal and aquatic plants, sedge marches).

The existing yacht clubs are being reconstructed and expanded with kayaks, paddleboards and other types of water transport. This will ensure tight connection between the parts of island and help to explore the island.
