Eye-catching sounds a little bit derogatory, which is not suggested by the context. "Attractive features" as Martynback proposes is less biased

Not derogatory at all. It refers to the beauty of the installations.

NB Amenities: "defined as a desirable or useful feature of a building or place, amenities look to provide comfort and convenience for tenants occupying the property. Amenities encompass additions that are in excess of the basic needs of an individual, and usually include features such as pools, workout facilities, and internet.....etc." cf https://www.realized1031.com/glossary/amenities

Ornamental ponds and fountains are not really "amenities". Amenities are things like (swimming) pools, gyms, public toilets and wifi hotspots: they're things that people use, not things they just look at.

I fail to see why one would make that assumption, given that we're talking explicitly about ponds and fountains. A feature is just part of a man-made landscape. Ponds and fountains are collectively called water features.

Fountains and ponds aren't "recreational areas" - they're usually referred to as "features" in landscape design.
