Design of Parkour Park
JIYO drew and designed the world's first official parkour park "JIYO Parken", which was inaugurated in Ørestad in Copenhagen in August 2009. The park was made in close collaboration with By & Havn.
The park quickly became world famous when it was part of the documentary film "MY PLAYGROUND" (by film director Kaspar Astrup Schroder) who went around the world at film festivals.
When building a parkour park, there are many things that must be taken into account if you want to ensure that safety is top notch and that what is being built can actually be used for parkour.
Watch the film below "JIYO Parkour Park - a playground in the city", where we see the development of one of the world's most iconic Parkour Parks, from idea to drawings to realization of a parkour facility in the heart of Copenhagen.
Understanding a Parkour Park
A Parkour Park is a safe, stimulating environment, richly equipped with a variety of physical challenges. These challenges, designed to inspire parkour, can range from simple to complex structures, appealing to a wide range of skill levels. A Parkour Park is a creative playground where everyone can challenge and expand their limits.
The value of a Parkour Park
Creating a Parkour Park in your community can have significant benefits. It provides local children and young people with a positive and engaging leisure environment, and can contribute to strengthening the entire local community. A Parkour Park can be a meeting place for different generations and promote cohesion in your local area.
Safety in a Parkour Park
One of the primary areas of focus when we talk about a Parkour Park is safety. It is important to design a Parkour Park that takes into account the safety of all users without compromising the freedom and challenge that parkour offers. Every structure and obstacle in a Parkour Park is designed with user safety in mind, with appropriate padding and high quality materials. In addition, users are encouraged to develop and strengthen their techniques gradually, to prevent injuries and ensure they have fun and get the most out of the Parkour Park.
Safety is also an integral part of our design process. We work closely with the local community, parkour experts and safety consultants to ensure that every Parkour Park we develop is both challenging and safe. In addition, we provide regular maintenance and inspection to maintain a high standard of safety in our Parkour Parks.
Investing in a Parkour Park is therefore not only an investment in physical activity and community, but also in the safety and well-being of children and young people in your local community. With a Parkour Park, you are sure to have a safe and exciting place where children and young people can develop these skills, express themselves creatively and build self-confidence.
Unique design creates fantastic opportunities for movement
"If you want to have a parkour park designed, it is important that you turn to experts in parkour and freerunning who have experience with parkour design. Otherwise, you risk that the parkour park may be useless or, in the worst case, dangerous for those who have to use it." [ Martin Coops, Team JIYO ]

When we design parkour parks and facilities, we always make sure to design something unique. The parkour parks that we have designed everywhere in Denmark and Scandinavia are always made according to the target group for which the facility is intended.
