What: ABC Sydney feature discussing the launch of the $1.4 million Parramatta Parkour Park
Why: To highlight how parkour supports youth, wellbeing, and creative community spaces
The City of Parramatta has launched one of Australia’s most advanced parkour facilities, a purpose built $1.4 million park designed for youth, families, and athletes. This park represents a step forward in supporting active lifestyles through design that encourages creativity and movement.
To mark the opening, ABC Sydney invited Lord Mayor Martin Zaiter and KongQuest Founder Alexander Robinson to share their insights on how this facility will serve the next generation of movers and creators.
The conversation focused on the park’s social and physical benefits, how parkour builds confidence, and why safe, inclusive public spaces matter.
The discussion was filmed on location at the new Parramatta Parkour Park. Surrounded by modern obstacles and open training zones, Alexander and Martin talked about how parkour connects community, builds resilience, and encourages movement without barriers.
The Lord Mayor praised the park’s design for its inclusivity and its role in youth engagement, while Alexander explained how KongQuest and Parkour360 help young athletes transition from curiosity to capability.
The segment showed parkour in its truest form — freedom, creativity, and community working together in a safe, accessible way.
The facility encourages participation from all ages, making parkour more approachable and safe for everyone. This collaboration shows how media, government, and community groups can align to promote healthier, more active cities.
This article aligns with Mission One — to inspire the next generation of parkour athletes. Seeing parkour discussed on major Australian media shows how far the movement has come.
Every interview, every new park, and every open conversation like this builds credibility for the sport. It proves parkour is not just training, it is a culture of creativity, confidence, and connection.
When young people see their community leaders and athletes talking about parkour on national media, they begin to believe they can be part of it too.
