21世纪到来后,原本露天广场的规划已不复存在,广场区域对游客关闭,没有树木或任何其他公共功能。
By the turn of the 21th century, the original plan of the fairground has left no trace, and the square territory was closed for visitors, had no trees or any other public functions.

现存的方形布局是由三部分组成并且是对称的,正如19世纪总体规划的目的一样,提出一种设计规范,从而与体现城市特征的元素相结合并重新回应历史背景。在这一概念的基础上,有一个“拼布被子”的原则,结合了熟悉的广场构图和Nizhny Novgorod的历史作为参考。 如今的广场四季皆有不同类型的活动,植被种类丰富。
The implemented square layout is a three-part one and symmetrical, as it was intended by the 19th-century masterplan, a design code was devised that would join the city identity elements and reevaluate the historical context. At the base of the concept, there is a principle of “patchwork quilt” that combines familiar images of a fairground and references to the history of Nizhny Novgorod. Today the square is full of different types of all-season activities and rich in vegetation.
