Tatarstan President Rustam Minnikhanov, Mayor of Kazan Ilsur Metshin and Minister of Youth Affairs of the Republic of Tatarstan Damir Fattakhov inspected the status of the park.

The new extreme park consists of 8 zones: a skate park, two pump tracks for accomplished and beginning athletes, a workout and parkour area, a streetball park, an air park and a training zone. URAM is the largest extreme park in Russia. Its area is 1.9 hectares.

The forum is attended by 1000 representatives of active youth from 31 regions of Russia and 15 countries. The program includes discussions, creative meetings and lectures of well-known speakers, Tatarstan President’s Press Office reports.

The construction is almost completed and test competitions are underway. Nearby, we are building an indoor park where you can practice in winter. We must create all conditions for our young people. I feel young here,” – Tatarstan President noted.
