Creative BUILT Spaces for Parkour & URBAN PLAY

 

PKV Design is the leading parkour design consulting firm in North America with completed projects across the United States and Canada. We offer design support and consulting services on a wide range of projects, including public parks, indoor gyms, temporary events, and private estates. We work collaboratively with landscape architects, local governments, construction firms, artists, and communities to bring these unique spaces to life. 

Playgrounds, Parks & Public Spaces

Whether they are large features at regional multi-sport parks or “parkour dots” at a neighborhood scale, parkour parks are an exciting addition to the community. Check out what we’ve designed and get inspired!

Gym Design &
Consulting

From Parkour facilities to gymnastics spaces, ninja warrior courses, and trampoline gyms, we have worked with a wide range of clients to design exciting indoor sport spaces.

Staging, Events & Pop-ups

Parkour Visions creates pop-up parkour structures for events such as competitions, street festivals, and parties. Our designs are event-specific, and we also offer event staffing and talent recruitment depending on the needs of the event.

Public Art &
sculpture

Play doesnt have to be limited to playgrounds and gyms. We work with a team of artists and practitioners to create temporary installations, interactive public art sculpture, and mobile equipment sets for use by individuals, schools, and other community facilities.

SELECTED WORK

Cordata Parkour Park

Bellingham, WA
Completed 2020

Cordata’s hexagonal forms provide the opportunities created by parallel walls without becoming locked in a traditional 90-degree grid. Three movement zones are unified by material and form while retaining distinct identities. This allows the park to serve multiple training groups when Cordata is busy without closing off opportunities for longer lines across the space when there are fewer visitors.

2,650 square feet • Budget $200k USD

Partners: Robert W. Droll, Landscape Architect

Centennial Park

Fort St. John, B.C.
Completed 2019

Built from welded steel and beautiful yellow cedar timbers, the Centennial parkour park pays homage to the City of Fort St. John’s history along the Peace river with its design of two forts bridging a “river” created by the rubber play surfacing. Parkour Visions worked with IBI Group to develop the initial concept design and worked with Marathon Surfaces to make the park a reality.

5,500 square feet • Budget: $300k CAD

Partners: Marathon Surfaces & IBI Group Landscape Architecture

Miami Freerunning Kendall Gym

Kendall, Florida
Completed 2019

Miami Freerunning

Parkour Visions produced a concept and schematic design for Miami Freerunning’s Kendall expansion. The gym features a descent wall, foam pit, spring floor, and a mix of fixed and moveable parkour structures.

Penzer Park

Langley, BC
Completed Q2 2017

We worked with the City of Langley and Marathon Surfaces to design this 10,000sf parkour park just south of Vancouver. The park is constructed from locally sourced yellow cedar and includes a 2-lane obstacle course, full rubber surfacing, and an in-ground trampoline.

10,000 square feet

Rhodes Park

Boise, ID
Completed Q2 2017

Rhodes Parkour Park takes advantage of an existing highway overpass to shelter the park from rain and sun. Timbers, bars, and cast concrete walls combine to form a unique area for movement. Seattle firm GGLO designed the park as a whole while Parkour Visions worked primarily on the parkour elements shown here.

4,000 square feet

Pop-up Playgrounds

Our team members have designed several pop-up temporary playgrounds and playspaces, including one for the Seattle Design Festival in collaboration with Turner Construction and LMN Architecture, as well as an enormous pop-up seasonal installation on Governors Island in New York. The structure featured colored lines that formed paths users could follow - an accessible way to explore the concept of parkour.

Gym Design & Consulting

From Parkour facilities to gymnastics spaces, ninja warrior courses, and trampoline gyms, we have worked with a wide range of clients to design exciting indoor sport spaces. Featured here is Stuntzone parkour trampoline obstacles, designed for Skyzone, and the parkour facilities built apart of High Exposure Climbing in North Jersey.

Public Art & Equipment

Parkour Visions designs parkour equipment for a variety of applications, from modular vault boxes for other parkour programs to custom play-focused sculptures for installations and public spaces.

"Clippy" - Pipe sculpture

We designed and fabricated this sculpture for an exhibit on "Extraordinary Playscapes" at the Seattle branch of the AIA. Clippy is made from 5.5" steel pipe and weighs about 650 lbs.
