The Equality Association, in cooperation with the Municipality of Kisela Voda, will design, construct and manage the new "Park of Equality", financially supported by the Embassy of the Republic of Poland.
The project “Equalizing Access for Persons with Disabilities to Urban Space through the Construction of an Equality Park in the Municipality of Kisela Voda” is supported within the framework of the “Polish Aid” program with an amount of 29,000 EUR.
The park will contain integrative content, will be urbanly designed, will encourage creativity among the youngest and children and will aim to educate and inform visitors about the importance of learning and understanding through play, relaxation and integrative corners. Through a variety of content and opportunities for integrative socializing, this park will encourage togetherness and revive the possibility of connecting with nature in Skopje.
This project is an example of public-private cooperation between an NGO and local government, in collaboration with local companies, which will create a socially significant project, which will also contain the characteristics of a landmark, and will be beneficial to the communities of the municipalities of Kisela Voda, Aerodrom, Centar, as well as the wider area of Skopje, but will also encourage integration and socialization among children as young as 1.5 years old, and, due to its attractiveness and functionality, among older people.
The project envisages the creation of an urban park, which will be fully accessible architecturally, with easy access to all its contents, as well as access to parking spaces, including for drivers with disabilities. The park will also be open to pets.
The project will begin implementation this summer, and the deadline for completion is scheduled for December 2025.
