What is PARK(ing) Day?

It’s an one-day international event that activates the metered parking space as a site for creative, political, and cultural expressions that lead to unscripted social interactions. Since its inception in 2005 in San Francisco, temporary mini-parks (aka parklets) are installed in hundreds of cities to demonstrate creative experimentation and activism.

 

PARK(ing) Day occurs annually on the 3rd Friday of September.
