New Inclusive Beach Opens in Odesa

04 September 2025

On July 1, 2025, an inclusive beach was inaugurated at the 11th station of the Great Fountain in Odesa. This initiative marks a significant step towards developing a barrier-free environment for veterans, people with disabilities, and others with mobility challenges.

The inclusive beach serves as a prime example of how spaces can be adapted for diverse needs. This was stated by Tatiana Lomakina, the President's Advisor on Barrier-Free Issues, following her visit to Odesa. She praised the city's efforts in creating a beach that meets accessibility standards.

“Step by step, the coastline is becoming a barrier-free area. The beach rarely goes empty; it attracts both locals and visitors,” said the President's Advisor on Barrier-Free Issues.
