Park(ing) Day
Posted by on July 30, 2012
Join Us for Park(ing) Day on Friday, September 21
Article 7 On September 21, a number of businesses, nonprofits, designers, and citizens will transform parking spaces around Philadelphia into temporary public parks. To celebrate five years of Park(ing) Day in Philadelphia, we have set a goal of seeing 50 parks throughout the city. We hope you’ll help us reach this goal.
Park(ing) Day re-imagines the possibilities of 170 square feet of public space. The event celebrates parks and other public spaces in cities across the country, and raises awareness of the need for more pedestrian-friendly spaces in our urban areas.
We hope that you’ll join us by hosting a park this year. To view a google map of all participants and their locations, click here.
