Монастирський острів - історичне ядро Дніпра, улюблене місце відпочинку містян. Із парку імені Тараса Шевченка на острів перекинуто пішохідний міст через рукав ріки Дніпро.

За легендою, в ХІ сторіччі тут існував візантійський монастир, у якому княгиня Ольга перебувала бурю дорогою до Константинополя. Встановлено пам'ятний хрест на честь візантійських ченців, на мисі споруджено Миколаївську церкву (1999 рік).

За радянських часів встановлено пам'ятник Тарасові Шевченку, відкрито зоопарк та акваріум, а також парк дитячих атракціонів.

В 2013 році відкрито 17-метровий декоративний водоспад "Поріг Ревучий", який символізує затоплений каскад дніпровських порогів (працює у літній період у вихідні, а ввечері - і в будні).
