It is planned to create urban sports parks in all regional centers of Ukraine by 2023-2024, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky said.
“In 2022, such parks will be opened in Lviv, Kropyvnytsky, Kryvy Rih, Dnipro, Kharkiv, Sumy, and in 2023 they are planned to open in many regional centers and several other large cities of Ukraine. After that, in 2023-2024, all regional cities and not only will see such clusters that, it seems to me, our Ukrainian citizens will like them,” Zelensky said while inspecting the urban park on the territory of the National Complex Expocentre of Ukraine (VDNG).
He stressed that this is necessary for the development of physical culture among Ukrainians. “We know that more than 60% of citizens are not yet engaged in physical activity. Because of this, there are certain diseases. I believe that it is with such sports, entertainment and modern ‘magnets’ that we will increase the number of people who must engage in various sports for their own health,” Zelensky added.
