Over the last year, you may have learned about Parkour East Texas, which provides learning opportunities all over East Texas and helps teach different age groups how to overcome mental, physical, and emotional obstacles through movement.

Coming September 9th, 2023, Parkour East Texas is raising the bar by opening the first parkour gym in East Texas! Called “The Rising”, this will be their first permanent location and will provide the traditional classes, an open gym, and a location for birthday parties, team trainings, and school classes & presentations.

From their website, “We decided to give our first gym a name that reminds us of our daily pursuit of rising up to become a better person!”

The grand opening will go from 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM on September 9th and is absolutely free! The Rising will be located at 300 Harris Street in Kilgore.
