Parkour (Ages 11 and up)
Discover URBANASTICS with Ortona's Parkour and Free-Running Program
To learn basic free-running and parkour skills in a safe environment.
Parkour and free-running are steadily gaining in popularity. While we would never promote the execution of Parkour skills outside of a safe environment and without proper supervision, we recognize that they are being done. As a result, we realize that there is a need for a safe environment in which to learn those skills. This program is suitable for participants aged 11 and up.
