Welcome to Parkour Visions
We promote safety, respect, and community in the practice of Parkour.
Who we are:
Parkour Visions (formerly the Pacific NW Parkour Association) is a non-profit organization chartered by Northwest traceurs (Parkour practitioners) to further these goals:
- Foster collaboration among Parkour communities
- Educate new traceurs and the general public about Parkour
- Build confidence through safe and effective Parkour training
- Encourage overall fitness and healthy living in our communities
The Parkour Visions supports community projects that contribute to a healthier world. This includes coordinating and participating in cleanup and building/rebuilding efforts in our public places, particularly those where we enjoy practicing Parkour. We also offer guidance and support for Parkour training, including providing assistance to schools wishing to teach Parkour as part of a physical education curriculum.
