Parkour / Street Workout
Parkour is a sporting discipline that challenges the body's ability to move along a particular course in a creative, effective and varied way. The aim is to rapidly clear obstacles using a variety of techniques: jumping, balancing and climbing. Parkour can be practised either outdoors (making use of features of the urban or natural environment) or indoors (using vault boxes, benches or other obstacles). It also serves an educational purpose in that it enables children and adolescents to realistically gauge their own abilities and to select their own focus – whether camaraderie, mutual help, or simply enjoyment.
CST's offering
CST now has its own parkour installation. The course, which has been designed to offer different degrees of difficulty, is combined with a street-workout installation.
Safety
Parkour calls for great care to be taken at all times. The CST installation is solely for the use of young people aged over 14 years who are at least 140 cm tall (unless they are accompanied by an adult).
Any groups wishing to benefit from qualified instruction should contact Roman Botta (roman.botta@baspo.admin.ch).
Before using the installation, we urge you to consult the safety information as well as the links given in the right-hand column.
