Bedok Maze, once a beloved parkour spot in Singapore, was located along Bedok South Road, nestled between block 41 and 42. The spot featured a series of low-lying walls of varying heights, perfect for parkour enthusiasts to practise their moves. The maze-like wall arrangement also attracted photographers looking to capture unique overhead shots of the area.
Named "Bedok Maze” by the parkour community, this spot became well-known as an ideal location for parkour practitioners to hone their skills. It was described as an iconic spot, popular not just among Singaporeans, but also among parkour enthusiasts worldwide. In fact, there was even a petition launched to prevent the demolition of this cherished location, but unfortunately, it did not garner much support.
The demise of Bedok Maze may have been linked to noise complaints. In 2016, during the largest parkour event in Singapore held at the spot, multiple noise-related complaints were lodged by residents in the area. This led to three police visits during the event. However, some residents claimed that there were no noise concerns, raising questions about the actual reason for the demolition.
Despite the loss of Bedok Maze, the Singapore parkour community remains resilient. They continue to search for new spots where they can practise their discipline and showcase their skills. The memory of Bedok Maze lives on as a cherished location in the hearts of parkour enthusiasts, and they hope to find another equally appealing spot to continue their practise.
Although the iconic spot may no longer be accessible, the spirit of parkour lives on in Singapore. The parkour community will continue to explore and adapt to new locations, always seeking new challenges and opportunities to showcase their talents. Bedok Maze will forever hold a special place in the history of parkour in Singapore, as a place where practitioners came together to push their limits and defy the urban landscape.
