The park is named after the soldiers of General I. V. Panfilov's 316th Rifle Division. Its main sights are the Memorial of Glory with the Eternal Flame and the Ascension Cathedral (1904–1907), 54 m tall, which survived the 1911 earthquake. Many of the park's trees were planted by famous people, including cosmonauts.
The park is also home to a military museum, a bandstand and the Ykhlas Museum of Folk Musical Instruments (24A Zenkov St). Restoration work was carried out at the memorial for the 80th anniversary of Victory in 2025.
