Latest Parkour/PKTO Event Pics (SOME CURRENTLY DISABLED!)
Earth Day Tree Planting
Andy on PKTO had a great idea with the "Leave no Trace" initiative he posted on this site, and it gave me the idea for getting PKTO involved with something out in the community. After checking out the available activities going on in the city, we decided that tree planting was something this site had never participated in and we would give it a shot! Downsview Park held an event called the "Team Green Challenge" where people all come together to help beautify Downsview Park by planting trees......Read more.

Scotiabank Nuit Blanche
October 1st marked one of the coolest events PKTO has been involved with yet.

Special thanks to all the volunteers that helped out from this site, the 200 or so that tried Parkour, and the thousands that took a minute to check us out....Read more.

Training by the Lake 2007
"Methode Naturelle" is a term that gets thrown a round quite a bit in the Parkour world lately. It was decided the time had to come to have an "MN" training day for the site, and why not a BBQ at the same time. Humber Bay Park East set the mood for a great conditioning day....Read more.
Jimmie Simpson Community Center
We had the pleasure of being able to document 2 days of Parkour at the Jimmy Simpson Community Center in Toronto. One of these sessions later ended up finding its way into the CBC National report on PKTO. With some blocks brought in, and using the mats and beams available at the center we ran 2 training sessions a day geared at 4-7 year olds, 8-12 year olds....Read more
Downsview Park's Canada Day
At this years Canada's Day at Downsview Park we setup a 'Parkour zone obstacle course' with blocks, scaffolding, and some other fun objects. Kids of all ages came out and got 1on1 instruction from a PKTO member on how to tackle the various challenges, and then were put to the test afterwards....Read more
