Urban Greening Efforts in Odesa for 2026
In 2026, Odesa continues its urban greening efforts with the planting of 129 new trees.
The recently renovated skatepark and a new basketball court were inaugurated in the Peresyp district of Odesa, accompanied by sporting events for all ages.
«Today, our skaters and cyclists are able to enjoy a safe and comfortable space. This has been made possible through the collaboration between the city and our reliable partners: the NGO «Barrier-Free» led by Oleksiy Morozov and MTB Bank,» emphasized the mayor of Odesa, Hennadiy Trukhanov.
«Restoring such a facility is quite challenging. It needs to be both convenient and safe. We engaged in extensive discussions with the school administration, athletes, and parents, and we agreed that it was essential to bring it back to life,» said Oleksiy Morozov, advisor to the mayor on accessibility issues.
In addition to the updated locations, a new football field will soon be added, enhancing the sports opportunities for local residents.
