Inclusive sports ground opened on the Black Sea coast in Odesa
A new inclusive sports complex has been inaugurated in Odesa on the shores of the Black Sea.
This space, located at «Dolphin» beach, is a significant addition to the ongoing development of the health trail's sports infrastructure.
From the very first moments of its opening, various sports activities took place here. The upper area hosted warm-up sessions before boxing matches, karate classes, and strength training. The middle area became a hub for sambo, table tennis, and wushu. The lower area allowed veterans and individuals with disabilities to use inclusive exercise equipment and participate in an adaptive Muay Thai masterclass led by world champion Vasyl Sorokin.
The opening ceremony was attended by Odesa's mayor Hennadiy Trukhanov, local government representatives, veterans' organizations, sports federations, sponsors, and youth.
In his welcoming speech, the mayor highlighted the importance of accessible sports infrastructure, which inspires the community towards a healthy lifestyle and fosters unity among residents, even in challenging times. He noted that the opening of this facility is a result of fruitful collaboration between the authorities, business, and the active community of Odesa.
«This space has been created thanks to those who do not seek fame but are making a real difference in the city. It is built to all accessibility standards and is available to everyone: residents, visitors, people with disabilities, families with children, and of course, veterans who need physical activity, rehabilitation, and support,» said Hennadiy Trukhanov.
The inclusive sports facility is equipped with 12 modern exercise machines, a boxing ring, a crossfit area, a gymnastics complex, rehabilitation equipment, table tennis tables, and everything needed for comprehensive and comfortable sports activities.
