PARK(ing) Day has Become an Annual, Global Occurrence

Friday, 9.16 / Various locations

Since its inception in 2005, PARK(ing) Day has become an annual, global occurrence with a mission of improving the quality of urbanization and the community. On the third Friday of September, designers, companies and citizens around the world convert metered parking spaces into “parks,” many of which expand beyond the ordinary grass-and-bench park aesthetic. With the mission of calling attention to the need for more usable urban space, this day of metered celebration draws the community together in a physically restrictive yet creatively freeing way.
