On 27 April 2025, 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.
Who: Macarthur Parkour community, Playkour, Parkour360, and local families
What: April parkour event at Seddon Park with first time paid tickets and Speed Quest challenges
Why: To inspire new athletes and grow a sustainable, community driven parkour scene in Macarthur
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The day ended with smiles, laughter, and new friendships. What started as a test became proof that parkour events can thrive in local communities, even in unpredictable weather.
We share lessons so that other organisers, coaches, and communities can grow with us. Every event refines our system and helps us make parkour more accessible.
This article focuses on Mission One — inspiring the next generation of parkour athletes. What happened at Seddon Park shows the power of community driven movement.
Kids didn’t just learn parkour. They learned confidence, teamwork, and creativity. Parents saw a sport that grows character, not just coordination.
For us, this is parkour at its best — a bridge between fun and growth, skill and self belief.
