LEAP Parkour Park Parkour is a new and innovative sport, where you move your body from one point to another efficiently and effectively, overcoming obstacles around you.

London’s first and only purpose built outdoor managed parkour facility provides the ideal place to practice parkour in a safe and dedicated environment.

The site mimics an urban landscape with walls, rails and bars for people to vault and scale.

Over 8s can join regular classes with qualified Parkour UK coaches. Over 14s can use the park unsupervised. The facility was funded by the council and London Marathon Trust.

Following the publication of the British Standard, BS10075:2013 for Parkour Equipment, accessing LEAP Parkour Park is now simpler than ever. If you are aged 13+ you can simply turn up and pay the entry fee and enjoy the use of the park for the whole day (during opening hours).

If you are under 13 you will need to attend a coached session led by a Parkour UK Level 2 qualified coach (please see our Parkour Camps or Youth Academy sessions).
