X-PARK

Our story

The founder and ideologist of X-PARK is Yuri Zozulya. In the 2000s, after becoming acquainted with kitesurfing and wakeboarding, as well as seeing linear and circular cable lines in France, he was inspired to create such a place in Ukraine.

Wakeboarding is a sport that can change lives.

Thus, wakeboarding in Ukraine began its history with Extreme Park X-PARK. Later, the creator of the park registered wakeboarding as a sport with a national status and founded the Ukrainian Federation of Wakeboarding and Water Skiing. The place itself on the banks of the Desenka River has always been attractive to the people of Kyiv. That is why the idea arose and, as it turned out later, even the need, to support other sports, to give them the opportunity to develop side by side. Now the goal of the X-PARK is to popularize sports, including fun and other outdoor activities, in the city for people of any preferences and ages. And already in 2007, the first X-traction ring road in Ukraine was realized in the Muromets park and the Extreme Traction club was founded. A year later, a linear road was installed. By the way, the main criterion for choosing the location of the extreme park was the conclusion of German experts on the quality and chemical composition of the water (they inspected about 60 water bodies, and only 2 of them met sanitary standards).
