Since 2020, Bloomington Parkour has been providing free instruction in the Art of Movement for people ages 8 to 80, here in Monroe County. In that time, we've learned a lot from the community and have been able to help so many people enjoy everyday life by empowering them to Move.

In our mission to keep Parkour accessible and enjoyable for everyone, we are now taking the on the challenge of expanding our operations to offer more classes and more opportunities to engage with this rapidly growing sport. However, in order to make this expansion sustainable, we are now seeking Your support, so that this mission can continue. 

Our instruction is designed from the ground up to promote life long fitness, good sportsmanship, respect for the community and respect for our local environment. Without BPK, parkour would continue to grow in Bloomington, but without any organization to support best practices, and act as a guide to ensure that this new sport grows as a Part of the Community.

The benefits of Parkour are well documented, especially for the development of the Youth into active and healthy citizens:

-Improved Health

-Improved Self Confidence 

-More Frequent Exposure to the Outdoors 

-Reduces Juvenile Delinquency 

Your support will cover the costs facilities rental, equipment maintenance, and staff to make our Free Public classes possible, especially during the summer months when access to an indoor venue is vital for youth sports. 

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this. We hope that you'll consider supporting BPK and helping us build a Bloomington that really Moves.

-David F.
