See what it's all about.

Parkour consists of finding new ways through the city landscape by scaling walls, jumping down steps and vaulting obstacles.  It's the perfect place to practice your moves in a safe environment.

Over 8s can join regular classes which start at £1 and more seasoned parkour professionals can use the park unsupervised once you pass a competence test with qualified instructors from Parkour UK.
