In Odessa, opened the largest skate park in Ukraine

On Sunday in Odesa Park Shevchenko opened the largest skate park in Ukraine. The area of ??the new sports complex is about 1,000 square meters. The skate park is located between the stadium "Chernomorets" and the Suvorov alley. This territory was chosen not by chance, since for the erection of the complex there was chosen a plot free of landscaping, and when placing elements of a skate park all the trees on the territory remained unaffected.

Already now, because of the resemblance to the Odessa skate park compare with his Catalan counterpart from Barcelona. From now on, all-Ukrainian competitions for skateboarding will take place here, both in amateur and professional categories. And also demo performances of the best skateurs, rollers, cyclists on BMX and MTV of Ukraine and abroad.

The opening of the skate park has become a truly significant event for Odessa.

I am a categorical opponent for building something in the Shevchenko park, but this is just an exception. The exception is because it's something about sport, development. Odessa was always distinguished by the fact that in addition to the center of science, education, culture, was also a sports capital. There was a time when we lost this status almost completely. Why lost because they were not engaged in the development of a sports material base. Now this process is resumed. Now we are engaged in the construction of sports grounds, football, volleyball and create conditions for the development of sports.

- said the People's Deputy of Ukraine Sergey Kivalov.
