Parks Project Run

Frequently Asked Questions

• What features of Parks Project activewear make it suitable for running and trail workouts?

  Parks Project's activewear uses a recycled polyester and spandex blend that provides moisture-wicking, stretch, and compressive support to reduce chafing and keep you dry. Pieces like their leggings and sports bras are cut for form-fitting movement, making them well suited for short-to-medium runs, trail hikes, and other medium-impact activities.
• How do Parks Project leggings compare to their bike shorts and sports bras for running?

  Leggings offer full-leg coverage and light compression, good for cooler runs or technical trails where protection and muscle support matter. Bike shorts breathes better and are preferable for hot-weather road runs or high-cadence training where ventilation and freedom of movement are priorities. Sports bras in the collection deliver targeted support—choose the medium-impact styles for everyday runs and higher-support silhouettes if you need extra stability.
• How should I pick a size in Parks Project activewear — do the gender-specific and unisex cuts fit differently?

  Parks Project offers gender-specific cuts tailored to typical women's proportions and unisex options with a more relaxed silhouette; consult the size chart for each style and compare your measurements to the brand's waist, hip, and bust guidance. If you prefer stronger compression, size down within the recommended range; if you want a roomier, layering-friendly fit, size up.
• Are Parks Project's active fabrics sustainable, and how do they hold up with regular training?

  The active line uses recycled polyester (from post-consumer bottles) blended with spandex to balance sustainability, stretch, and moisture management. With routine care—avoid high-heat drying and harsh detergents—these fabrics retain shape and wicking performance through regular use.
• Which Parks Project pieces should I choose for longer trail runs or multi-day outings?

  For longer sessions, prioritize leggings with compressive support and a medium-impact sports bra that matches your support needs; choose bike shorts for hot-weather days to maximize breathability. Add a lightweight quarter-zip or layering top in a park-inspired colorway like Glacier Trail or Sequoia Trail to manage changing conditions on the trail.
