The City of Vancouver has officially approved the construction of our new parkour facilities. This achievement reflects the collective effort of everyone who advocated for this project. We will monitor the planning phase closely to ensure the final designs meet our community needs.

Are you craving more outdoor playtime? Let's tell the City of Vancouver how many of us would like an opportunity to practice, learn and teach Parkour outside!
Current playground structures do not accommodate teens and adults. Multi-generational Parkour parks will be invaluable in promoting continued activity beyond elementary school age.
Parkour is multi-generational and highly useful. In the young it teaches crucial risk assessment skills for physical, emotional and critical thinking. In teens and adults it hones these abilities, giving an excellent workout regime and continued physical fitness. In older adults it ensures mobility, flexibility and balance for a long life of activity.
We have parks dedicated to skateboarding, tennis, field sports, bmx, track, etc. Parkour practitioners number in the thousands in Vancouver. It is time for Parkour to get on the Vancouver map!
Please sign our petition and share with friends and family.
THANK YOU!

Both of my adult sons practice Parkour and it's added so much to their lives and good health. Please dedicate an outdoor area for this activity. Having people outside doing this sort of stuff keeps our city safer and more beautiful.
Parkour develops movement literacy in its most basic forms. These types of spaces will make a healthy, happy, and capable society.
I don't do parkour, but I am all for providing people with the space they need to pursue their passions!
It would not cost much to incorporate parkour elements into park landscape and structural design. Then park users can engage and interact with all aspects of the parks the City provides
Well-designed public Parkour space is much better than private property that can be damaged, or do damage to to these young athletes.
Yes we def need these parks in our community. Now more than ever!
Thanks Amethya! Hope to see you in Vancouver some time.

Love the idea floated in the comments about making artworks that can also be played on! "Do Not Climb" is always a sad sign whether you're into parkour or not. Having something to look at on rainy days and climb on sunny days would be great, and could be appreciated by everyone!
