University of Colorado at Boulder Boulder, Colorado

Conditions - The conditions of the CU campus are great. Everything is well built, kept, and clean. It is a beautiful campus with all different ways to train your parkour.

Security - In hundreds of days of parkour on the CU campus, there has only been one run in with security/cops. While it was insignificant, just stay off the high places and you will never have any problems at CU.

Obstacles - At the CU campus, there is a wide variety of all obstacles from rails to trees to walls to rocks. It is a giant campus which means some stuff can be pretty spread out but if you keep your eyes open, there are opportunities to train anything you want. One unique thing about the campus is that all the walls are made of rock slabs that stick out slightly making them perfect to climb and traverse. These activities are a great way to supplement parkour training!

Features: Engineering Center, UMC parking garage, climbable walls, a 100 by 100 foot block of awesome trees near Baker, a vast variety of all obstacles.
Lacks: A large amount of close and condensed obstacles.

Overall - The CU campus is a huge place and therefore, only portions of it can be sessioned at a time. This is great because you train new things every day. The campus is usually very busy in the day and abandoned in the evening but any time is a good time for parkour. The only drawback to parkour at CU is the fact that everything is spread out so far. However, if you don't mind covering some ground between training areas, its no big deal at all.
