Downtown Orlando is getting a brand new public park... for two hours. On May 20, 2010, 7-9pm, the folks at TheDailyCity.com are taking over a parking space adjacent to City Arts Factory in downtown Orlando (corner of Orange and Pine) as part of "Third Thursdays" and turning it into a parking-space-size park with astro turf, lawn chairs and tables. Its a presentation of their monthly TheDailyCity.com Mobile Art Show.
The public is welcome to have a seat, chat and take pictures in the tiny park.
