I'm currently taking photos of the places I use right now so I can post detailed information about the places I use for parkour
why their good, and what moves you can do there. Please feel free to post your own favorite places so that we can assemble a list
of good areas.

College campuses always seem to be great places to train.  I like Bowling Green State University the most. University of Toledo and the downtown of Toledo by COSI are good too.

around here, hmm, DT Cleveland, Toledo, and Kent State U., Daton, and those to me are the best places, anywhere around there. Depends on what you like really, but these cities have everything and in a day youll find all sorts of spots.

University Circle(east of cleveland) near Case western is sweet.  Just went for a walk there last night.  Gotta go back for PK with some people.

Kent State University has some good vaults and stuff for beginners. I go to school there, so if you jam there during the school year, post up a thread.

They have TONNNS of stuff for advanced vaults and drops etc.

Columbus State College has plenty of good spots too, and their campus is not huge, so everything is concentrated in an area maybe a few city blocks in size. Their campus is empty on Sundays, which would be perfect.

You know, that's just great, cause a friend of mine is transferring to CSC next semester, and my cousin is attending his first year at OSU. Glad to know I've got some spots to look forward to when I go on visits!

The University of Cincinnati and Ault Park (the big structure on top of the hill) are both pretty good places for the Cincinnati area. You can train just about anything you want at UC.

Another good spot in Columbus is the Columbus State Community College. CSCC campus is right downtown, so it's small, tightly designed, and obstacle dense, making it appropriate for parkour at any level of skill.
