The Nantwich Freerunning Park -

Reporter Jonathan  White

http://www.thenantwichfreerunners.org.uk/ - on the Barony Park in Nantwich was officially opened on Saturday 25th August 2012. The event featured parkour demonstrations, an opportunity to use the new facility and a smaller mobile facility alongside experienced ‘traceurs’ and obtain information about how to get involved locally and where to learn about parkour and freerunning. The Park was opened by professional freerunner Daniel Illabaca, who is one of the top practitioners of the discipline and a strong supporter of grass roots development of the sport. The facility places Nantwich at the forefront of ‘free running’ in the region and will hopefully attract local youngsters into the sport. The Park was built following a grant from Community Spaces (a grant fund provided by The Big Lottery and administered by Groundwork UK) and a grant from Nantwich Town Council.
