The Lammas Parkour Park will officially open on Friday 15 September where residents in Ealing can enjoy parkour. 

Parkour, also known as free running, is a physical discipline and training method that involves moving quickly and efficiently through urban or natural environments, utilizing acrobatic and athletic techniques to overcome obstacles.  

The launch event, taking place in Ealing borough's first ever park, starts from 4pm on Friday 15 September and is an opportunity to take part in free training sessions run by parkour experts.  

Ealing and parkour professionals, Parkour Generations, collaborated after the community called for a designated parkour facility in the area. 

Councillor Polly Knewstub, cabinet member for thriving communities believes parkour is a growing sport in the UK and is great to watch, which is why the council delivered in the making of Lammas Parkour Park for the community.   

She said: "The opening of this facility is another example of us listening to residents to find out what facilities they would like to see in the borough, and then working with them to make it happen." 

The public helped design the parkour area, including ensuring the use of natural materials to combine the facility into the park settings.
