While I have yet to hear of a specific parkour park in Europe, Urban Freeflow has posted this on their main page recently, and I recall Dan Edwardes talking about this as well in Jump Westminster.

Quote
We've partnered with Playworld Systems (one of the worlds largest manufacturers of recreation products) to develop specific Parkour/Freerun facilities in parks nationwide. The Urban Freeflow parks will be open access, cater for practitioners of all abilities and will be designed in such a way to allow for the full repertoire of PK/FR techniques to be drilled, without the added hassle of being moved on by anyone. Playworld Systems are better known for their sterling work at the Woodward skate parks in the US and like Urban Freeflow, bring with them a wealth of unrivalled experience in their field. We already have a host of local councils and youth development organisations on board and are really excited at the prospect of delivering this wide reaching grass roots scheme. Especially so, because we constantly receive emails from frustrated practitioners in our community, who have nowhere to train or are constantly being moved away from all the best training spots. In addition, this scheme will be a perfect compliment to our new 'Urbfit' program which we're gearing up to launch over the next few weeks. Watch this space for more info....

bad news... skater would totally come and ruin these parks... im sorry but traucers use many of the same things as skaters... rails, walls, etc... they would come and desroy it... anyway of prevention of this?
Skaters wouldnt destroy it. How would grinding a rail destroy it other then putting some color from the board on the rail? Nothing a skater touches is ever " destroyed ". Its simply marked up, which I'm sure a large number of traceurs have marked things up as well.
I really wish people wouldnt stereotype every skater like that. Thats totally wrong and un-called for. And if a skater did decide to go onto a parkour park, why not let him be? Skateboarding is their way of moving from point A to point B.

, at my old public school we had benches with the anti-grinding things on them, during the night the skaters would come with hammers and axes to chop them off, so i see what your getting at but a lot of skaters tend to do this
