What is parkour?
Parkour is a primarily non-competitive discipline and philosophy where practitioners adapt their movement to overcome physical obstacles in their environment. It is an empowering and diverse activity with several different schools of practice.
Where do you do parkour?
Most parkour occurs outdoors in public places anywhere you can find suitable obstacles (things that aren't slippery and won't break). This includes urban settings in city centres and natural outdoor spaces. Check out the New Zealand Movement Card for more details on property, trespass, and liability.
Who is Parkour NZ?
We're the National Sport Organisation for parkour, actively growing and supporting its development and recognition within Aotearoa New Zealand. As a registered charity, we nurture the physical, social, mental/emotional, and spiritual well-being of individuals and communities through the practice of parkour.
