Slightly under {{convert|8|ha|acre|}} in area, it is located in the Auto Factory District, less than a kilometer northwest of Victory Park.

Various special events and celebrations are held at the park on public holidays and at other times. The "Oodles of Animals" event ({{langx|ru|Жизнь замечательных зверей}}), besides providing entertainment, results in many animals from the city's animal shelters being adopted. In winter, an entire small town made of ice, the "Magical Fairyland of Ice", is constructed.<ref name=Recreation/>
The park was built by AvtoVAZ as a recreation place for young families, most of them workers at the AvtoVAZ automobile plant. The park opened in 1980, had 11 rides by 1987, and was named Funland in 2005.<ref name=Votpusk/>
