Parkour Connections at Life is Living 2011

After a couple rainy days, the weather cleared up just in time for the Life is Living festival in Oakland on Saturday a few weeks ago. This was our second year participating. We brought out the PKC Mobile Parkour Park once again with a bunch of new obstacles to work with, and the kids at the festival had a blast. Life is Living is an organization that promotes community building through art, music, and environmental justice - which means we were in some great company as we got to share the excitement of parkour among concerts, graffiti art, skate parks, and more.


What's more, we were joined by members of the Bay Area parkour community in the Parkour Connections Network. They did a great job keeping kids safe, explaining parkour, and inspiring everyone with some amazing movement.


We set up several stations including the ever popular balance beam swordfights. But it was mostly kids - parents, don't be shy, you can totally jump in.

Parkour Connections does classes, workshops, and birthday parties! Contact us to find out how we can bring safe parkour instruction right to your backyard.
