Parkour Visions is excited to reintroduce indoor parkour programs to our Seattle community at our local community centers. Starting this winter, we are offering classes at Garfield Community Center in anticipation of Seattle’s first dedicated parkour park that is being built as part of the Garfield Super Block improvement project.

Garfield Park, home of the future Garfield Super Block Parkour Park, is currently closed to Parkour.

Class Descriptions

  • Ages: 6-9, 8-12, 10-15
    Session length: 12 weeks
    Prerequisites: No experience necessary

    This program develops confidence and parkour skills, covering jumping, vaulting, climbing, balance, and quadrupedal movement. Each class includes ukemi (falling safety) and skill applications like games and obstacle courses. Students of all levels will begin classes together and then branch off into distinct groups for skill practice, based on their individual capabilities and experience. This allows students to bond with friends across their age group during games and group activities and still allows students to develop skills based on their personal capacity and physical competency.

  • Ages: 8-15
    Session length: 12 weeks
    Prerequisites: No experience necessary

    Learn the foundations of acrobatics and how to apply them in parkour lines. Freerunning students learn to build creativity and self-expression through movement. This class covers parkour foundations along with freerunning basics like inversions, twists, line building, air awareness, and falling safety. Students should expect to take this class for multiple seasons to learn, review, and improve their skills.

    This is an all-levels class appropriate for students with 0-12+ months of parkour experience.

  • Ages: 4-9 with parent/guardian participation
    Session length: 6 weeks
    Prerequisites: No experience necessary

    In this intergenerational class, parents will work with their children to develop parkour skills taught by the instructor. Parkour classes are high-energy, interactive experiences. Students learn to move creatively and efficiently in a collaborative social environment. Every session includes a warm-up and cool-down, falling safety (ukemi), skill practice, movement games, and obstacle courses.

    This class requires parent or guardian participation and youth of age 4-9.
