On , Macarthur Parkour turned a rainy Easter weekend into one of its most memorable community events yet. Held at Seddon Park, Glenfield, the event drew over 60 participants, including many first timers, and marked the debut of our new ticket system and 2-for-1 early bird offers.
Setting the Scene
Easter long weekend is usually quiet for events. Families travel, athletes rest, and the weather rarely helps. This time, the forecast said rain. But by the time our team arrived at Seddon Park, Glenfield, the skies cleared.
Built just six months earlier by Campbelltown Council, the park is purpose designed for parkour, with rails, walls, and play zones for all ages.
What started as uncertainty turned into one of our biggest turnouts. New families arrived with curiosity and energy. Many had never seen parkour in person before. By the end, they were cheering, laughing, and ready to move.
What Happened
New Faces, New Energy
This event marked a major step for our community — our first paid ticket model. Early bird 2-for-1 deals made the event accessible for families while helping us move closer to sustainability.
Some families even travelled from Liverpool to take part. It was proof that the Macarthur Parkour community is growing and that parents see value in safe, structured outdoor movement for their kids.
The Warm Up – From Lava to Laughter
Led by Coach Jayden, our warm up began with “The Floor is Lava” and movement games to break the ice. Within minutes, strangers became teammates. The park buzzed with laughter and anticipation.
Parkour360 Academy Workshop
Next came our Parkour360 Academy session. Participants learned the basics of parkour: rolls, jumps, vaults, climbs, and bar movements. Beginners built confidence while experienced athletes refined their form.
Each move was broken down step by step so no one felt left behind. Our coaches ensured that everyone understood how to train safely and efficiently before progressing.
Speed Quest – Racing Against Yourself
The Speed Quest began right after the workshop. Competitors raced from Point A to Point B, applying what they learned to the real world course. Two categories kept the field fair: Junior and Advanced.
For many first timers, this was their first taste of parkour competition. The focus was not on beating others but on mastering flow and efficiency.
Skill Quest – From Learning to Creating
After the competition, we opened up free flow zones for Skill Quest. Athletes explored the park using their new skills to invent routes, attempt challenges, and collaborate. It was movement turned art, exploration turned growth.
This is what parkour is all about, transforming an everyday space into a playground for creativity.
A Sweet Finish
Every registered athlete received a protein cookie from our partner Tessie’s Treats. Winners received gluten, nut, and lactose free baked goods, with our now-famous giant cookie for first place.
We closed with awards and a group photo. Rain clouds returned right after pack up, as if the timing had been scripted.
