The park adjoins Mount Goryachaya, on which there are several observation points with views of the city.

Arbor «Aeolian harp» — round arbor, the dome of which is mounted on 8 columns. Thanks to skillfully built acoustics in windy weather, here you can hear a soft melody of the wind, as if a harp is playing. Now, due to the instability of the wind, audio equipment is installed here and music always plays, regardless of the weather. From this place, a surprisingly beautiful panorama of the city and its surroundings opens up. Here you can sit for hours, admire the views endlessly and listen to the music of the wind.

Sculpture of the Eagle is a real symbol of the CavMinVody. According to legend, the eagle was bitten by a snake, the dying bird was healed by drinking water from the source. The eagle soared into the air, rushed at the snake and tore it to pieces. Since those very distant times, the eagle has been the personification of strength and health, and the snake — ailments and diseases. Now the sculpture of an eagle is invariably associated not only with Pyatigorsk, but with the whole region.
