Park(ing) Day Sept 20 in Audubon Park Garden District

The Daily City® Mobile Art Show Parking Space Takeover May 2010

PARK(ing) Day is Friday September 20, 2013 in Audubon Park Garden District (Facebook Event) It is a annual open-source global event where citizens, artists and activists collaborate to temporarily transform parking spaces into “PARK(ing)” spaces: temporary public places. The project began in 2005 when Rebar, a San Francisco art and design studio, converted a single metered parking space into a temporary public park in downtown San Francisco. Since 2005, PARK(ing) Day has evolved into a global movement, with organizations and individuals creating new forms of temporary public space in urban contexts around the world.

The mission of PARK(ing) Day is to call attention to the need for more urban open space, to generate critical debate around how public space is created and allocated, and to improve the quality of urban human habitat . . . one parking space at a time.
