The promenade also includes a few parking spaces, street houses, numerous cafes, and summer terraces.
[7] In June 2017, as the reconstruction of the promenade was taking place, a cobblestone pavement from the 1930s was discovered underneath Panvilov Street's asphalt surface.
According to architecture historian Almas Ordabayev, the find was part of the square located in front of the Government House building of KazSSR (built by Moses Ginzburg between 1928 and 1931).
This square was held in front of the first government building in Almaty, which now houses the Zhurgenov Academy of Arts.
