Parkour Gym Near Me in Bushwick: Brooklyn Zoo's Two-Floor Bogart Street Warehouse

Brooklyn Zoo charges $30 for a 60-minute parkour class at 230 Bogart Street, two blocks from the Morgan Avenue L stop, and the same $30 buys a night of adult open gym once you have taken one class. If you searched parkour gym near me from anywhere in Brooklyn, this two-floor warehouse is the one with an Olympic trampoline, a tramp wall the gym calls one of the only ones in New York, a foam pit and a spring floor.

This floor has been a parkour room since January 2013, when it opened as Bklyn Beast, billed at the time as the borough's first indoor parkour gym. According to the Brooklyn Paper, the building's owner, Donna Barrett, spent about $200,000 installing the spring floor and building the obstacles, but the partners never put their deal in writing. Co-owner Masai James left, Barrett sued to evict the remaining operators, and a big party on December 15, 2013 ended with police posting a vacate order.

Barrett and James reopened the space together as Brooklyn Zoo, a name borrowed from Ol' Dirty Bastard's Wu-Tang-era track, keeping some of the old instructors and adding a rope wall right away. The gym has since grown sideways rather than upward: alongside parkour it now teaches tumbling, trampoline, ninja warrior skills, bar calisthenics, aerial silks and breaking, and it even hosts SkyBall, a racket game played on a 44-by-20-foot court with a high-density foam ball.

The first floor is the training floor: the Olympic-size trampoline, the tramp wall, the foam pit, mats, a spring floor and a scattering of obstacles that coaches rearrange for classes and parties. The tramp wall is what separates this gym from most of the city, and the Tramp Basics class exists specifically to teach its progressions safely. The second floor is the softer side, with a bounce house, volleyball net, ping pong tables and a party room for food and cake.

Classes run 60 minutes and cover parkour basics, tumbling and Tramp Basics. The parkour program is pitched at all shapes, sizes and levels, building functional strength and coordination before anyone tries anything that leaves the ground for long. Reviews on the gym's own site mention a beginner parkour class with a coach named Bryce and describe open gym as a place where nobody judges your skill level, which is the right tone for an adult walking in after years away from exercise.

Pricing is printed on the homepage. A drop-in class costs $30 for any age, and a three-class pack is $75. Adults 15 and up pay $30 for a single open gym session or $100 for an unlimited month that renews every 30 days. Kids open play is $30 for a two-hour supervised session or $260 for a 10-pack, and a 30-day pass of unlimited kids classes costs $150. Privates are $250 for up to eight people or $500 for up to 20.

One firm rule governs adult open gym: first-timers must take a class before attending, so plan your first visit around the class schedule rather than open gym hours. Open gym runs 7pm to 10pm Monday through Thursday and 6pm to 10pm Friday through Sunday, with occasional changes for special events. The unlimited membership pays for itself after four visits a month, which is the obvious move for anyone training tricks on the tramp wall weekly.

Serious kids can join the eight-week Parkour Team. The fall 2026 semester runs September 15 through November 7, meeting Tuesdays from 5pm to 6:30pm for curriculum and Saturdays from 4pm to 5:30pm for open training. It costs $650, is for ages 8 and up unless a coach approves a younger student, and comes with a workbook, progress reports and an end-of-semester demonstration. Sign-up is by phone rather than online.

School breaks fill with day camp: $150 for a single day, $650 for five days or $1,100 for ten. Camp stays indoors all day, with games like parkour chase tag, nerf and dodge cube, a vending machine for snacks and a pizza order from Rome to Brooklyn if a lunch gets forgotten. Kids need a labeled water bottle, lunch and closed shoes; crocs and sandals are banned, and socks or tights must come off because the floor can be slippery.

Every participant signs a waiver before touching the floor. A child arriving without a parent needs a printed and signed waiver or a completed online form already on file, otherwise staff will not let them join open play. Children under 4 must have a parent with them at all times during open play, and birthday parties raise that line to age 5, with both the child and the parent signing waivers. Open play schedules shift week to week, so book through the posted schedule.

Birthday parties have their own fine print worth knowing: extra guests cost $49 each, cancellations inside four weeks of the date are not refunded, earlier cancellations carry a $200 fee, and a reschedule has to land within two weeks of the original date. The gym supplies plates, lemonade and water plus a fridge and freezer.

Parent reviews on the site describe families who travel from across the city because nothing else in Brooklyn has this mix, and kids building coordination and confidence with patient coaches. Weekday afternoons skew young with after-school classes in tumbling, trampoline and parkour, while the 7pm open gym belongs to adults working on flips, tricking and handstands. The space is shared, so expect a silks student, a trampolinist and a traceur all within a few yards of each other.

If you only want pure outdoor-style parkour, this gym's best features, the trampoline and foam pit, may pull you toward flips instead of vaults and precision. Birthday party sessions are sold online in the same weekend slots, so a quiet weekday class beats a weekend visit if you want coaching attention. When a class you want is sold out, The Movement Creative runs outdoor parkour sessions in Prospect Park and Washington Square Park, a different style but the same discipline.

Take the L to Morgan Avenue and walk north on Bogart Street; the warehouse sits in the industrial blocks of East Williamsburg where Bushwick begins. The surrounding blocks are some of the most painted in the city, and the Bushwick Collective murals around Troutman Street and St. Nicholas Avenue make a good loop for a family waiting on a sibling's class.

After a 7pm open gym, the neighborhood stays busy. Roberta's, the wood-fired pizza place at 261 Moore Street, is a short walk south of the gym and an easy refuel after a session on the tramp wall. If your crew came for the full night out, House of Yes is around the corner at 2 Wyckoff Avenue, with its entrance on Jefferson Street, though nobody should try a back tuck after a cocktail.

Address: 230 Bogart Street, Brooklyn, NY 11206 (L to Morgan Av). Drop-in class $30, three-class pack $75, adult open gym $30 per session or $100 unlimited monthly (ages 15+), kids open play $30 per two hours. Adult open gym 7pm to 10pm Monday to Thursday and 6pm to 10pm Friday to Sunday. Take a class first, sign the waiver online, and wear shoes you can remove.
