In the Magdalinivska community in Dnipropetrovsk region, free sports training sessions are being conducted for local residents. People have the opportunity to spend their time productively for their health and recharge with positive emotions. The training sessions are free and take place outdoors. Among the activities are yoga and fitness exercises. This initiative is reported by the Dnipropetrovsk Regional Military Administration.

Vladimir Drobityko, the head of the community, states that local residents joined this social project, "Active Parks," even before the full-scale invasion. This project is part of the "Healthy Ukraine" program initiated by the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky.

One of the initiators of the training sessions in the community is a member of the local youth council. A graduate of a sports college engages with community members in various activities.
