You’ve probably seen incredible parkour videos on Youtube of people running, jumping, rolling, and vaulting through urban spaces. While parkour started on the ramps and walls of cities, today there are lots of dedicated parkour gyms and training areas to practice. Check out these four places to do parkour around Vancouver.

 

Hastings Parkour Park, Vancouver

Head to the east side of Hastings Park near Empire Field to find Vancouver’s dedicated outdoor parkour space. It has concrete obstacles for jumps and lots of bars for swinging and pull-ups. The wooden rollercoaster makes for a great photo backdrop.

The 10,000 square foot space has a foam pit, walls for climbing, bars for swinging, and rails for jumping and vaulting. You can sign up for adult or kids classes, or try out the equipment during their open practice time slots. They also have a smaller gym in Port Moody.
