Toronto Urban Playground Parkour Fundamentals

Tue, Oct 20, 2:30 PM
From The Urban Playground Parkour Basics Crew

If you have ever watched someone navigate a park bench or a concrete ledge and thought that looks like fun, this session is for you. We are getting together at the park to break down the fundamentals of parkour in a way that is accessible and straightforward. Whether you are completely new to movement or just want to brush up on your landings, rolls, and basic vaults, we keep the focus on building confidence and control in a supportive environment. Expect to spend the time moving at your own pace while we work through some drills together. We prioritize safety and technical understanding over flashy tricks, so you do not need to be an athlete to join in. Just bring comfortable shoes, some water, and an open mind. If you have been looking for a reason to get outside and explore the city through a different lens, we would love to have you join us. Please let us know if you can make it by clicking the RSVP button so we know how many people to expect. Spots are limited and registration is required. Please register at the link below to hold yours.
