A new initiative called «Active Parks — Unstoppable» has been launched in Kyiv, aimed at assisting veterans and individuals with disabilities affected by the conflict in recovering through physical activity. This was reported by the Ministry of Youth and Sports of Ukraine.
Currently, there are 31 adaptive clubs in the city where participants can engage in sports such as para-hockey, rugby, paintball, petanque, sitting volleyball, wheelchair basketball, yoga, archery, pickleball, and more. These clubs are located on both the left and right banks of the city, with their numbers continually increasing.
«Adaptive clubs are spaces where everyone has equal opportunities to experience the power of sports and community support,» the Ministry noted.
Additionally, every Saturday and Sunday from 2 PM to 6 PM at Kontraktova Square, functional training sessions are held for everyone as part of the «Unstoppable Games» events.
The project is being implemented by the State Institution «Ukraine Sports Agency» with the support of the Ministry of Youth and Sports as part of the National Strategy for Creating a Barrier-Free Environment in Ukraine by 2030.
