Training places
Unlike many other activities parkour is not currently practiced in dedicated public facilities (e.g. skateparks), although efforts are being made to create places for it. Traceurs practice parkour in urban areas like gym, parks, playgrounds and abandoned structures.

Concerns section 8
Concerns have been raised regarding trespassing, damage of property, and the practice in inappropriate places.

There is also the concern that practitioners are needlessly risking damage to both themselves and rooftops by practicing at height, with police forces calling for practitioners to stay off the rooftops. Figures within the parkour community, including parkour instructors and David Belle, agree that this sort of behaviour is not to be encouraged.

These issues, however, do not appear to apply to the majority of practitioners whose relationship with authorities is generally a positive one.
