WATCH: Sarasota Parkour Facility

Sarasota resident and parkour enthusiast, Josh Hill, recently started his own facility, Sarasota Parkour Facility, which is drawing people in the scene from as far away as Tampa and Naples. Parkour, which started as a French military tactic for strategic moving, eventually evolved into more of a hobby or sport among enthusiasts. Over the years, Hill has worked to foster the local scene, and now with an established gym, he wants to continue to get new people involved in the sport.

The facility, located at 1882 Porter Lake Drive, Unit 101, offers both introductory and advanced classes, as well as open-gym nights, where enthusiasts can develop their skills.
