Have you ever had a day where your kid has so much energy, there’s no way to tucker them out? It’s happened to almost everyone, but now parents can head over to Scramble Parkour, the new parkour gym in Arlington.
The indoor play area is specifically designed for those kids that are always jumping and tumbling around the house. Open to kids ages 4 to 18, visitors will be able to find a designated area that meets their ability. Each course is graded for difficulty, so visitors know what they’re getting into but also push themselves to grow their skills.
The Arlington location also has free play zones for infants and toddlers and an area geared specifically for teenagers looking to grow their parkour skills.
Each area of the indoor playground is themed after a specific or imagined DC neighborhood, like the National Mall. Once you enter, you’ll notice a variety of equipment for all levels, including soft obstacles, spring floors, a quarter pipe, and other kid-friendly versions of what you might find on American Ninja Warrior.
Your kids will be wowed not only by the obstacles, but also the murals on every inch of wall space. Scramble brought on six local street artists to add their own style to 4,500-square-feet of walls in the gym. Once you step inside, you’ll be drawn to the multiple murals created by Aniekan Udofia, Sarah Jamison, Trap Bob, E$, Nia Keturah Calhoun, and Nate Mann.
Connected to the play area is the gym’s Union Station Cafe. The restaurant is connected to the play area and will serve locally sourced food and beverages. Plus, you don’t need to have a ticket to the gym in order to pick up a quick snack.
Scramble also has indoor play locations in Alexandria and Falls Church. Scramble Parkour: 2900 S. Quincy St., Arlington
