Every day in summertime, hundreds of people flock to an outdoor gym on an island in the Dnieper river in the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv. This unique gym dates back to the late 1960s when a subway line was built to link Kyiv's historic right bank and the left bank, which became home to sprawling Soviet-era housing developments. One station, Hydropark, was built on the island, giving residents easy access to the park, and they immediately adopted it for jogging and picnics.
