It settles down on several islands of the river of Ros and "a continent". The park has no accurately outlined axial composition. Numerous lanes, paths (about 2 hectares) open to visitors new landscapes, reminding even today the different countries of the world.

The Korsunsky park is the park created by the nature that differs from parks, created by hands of masters, including the "Soviyivka park". The park is generated by use of motives of a primitive landscape: mighty groups of howlite (basically, Rakapivi granite), numerous river canals, quiet creeks, riffles, granite rocks, existing plantings of trees. That is, the foundation components of the park are a tree, a stone and water. In 1787 - 1789 in the territory of the park small architectural forms - Turkish and Chinese arbours appeared, an ancient Greek temple, a triumphal arch, an Egyptian temple and a grotto cut in a rock as well.
