Learn more about Park(ing) Day
“Park(ing) Day is a global, public, participatory project where people across the world temporarily repurpose curbside parking spaces and convert them into public parks and social spaces to advocate for safer, greener, and more equitable streets for people.”
The focus of this year’s Park(ing) Day, now in its 18th year, is Parking Reform Activism.
In partnership with Parking Reform Network (PRN), we aim to address the urgent need for street reclamation in our post-pandemic world. The past few years have highlighted the importance of rethinking our urban spaces, with the rise of Parklets and the success of initiatives like Open Streets demonstrating the potential for transformative change. Join us as we build on this momentum and advocate for sustainable, community-focused urban planning that prioritizes people over cars.”
Because of the limited number of spaces consider collaborating with a partner organization on your install. Sign up for a spot HERE
