Kyiv City State Administration (KMDA) has signalled plans to establish a dedicated special unit for managing the Dniprovski Ostrivy park, according to a local report published 8 September 2026. The announcement frames the measure as a new form of park administration focused on the islands in the Dnipro River within Kyiv.

Local coverage highlights that the planned unit would relate directly to the park’s nature protection and recreational management, though KMDA’s report of the proposal does not yet list specific responsibilities, timeline, or staffing. Residents and visitors who use the islands for walking, swimming, and outdoor leisure should expect forthcoming official details from KMDA about how the change may affect access, rules, or services.
