Okay, this kind of seems a little out in left field, but I actually think it also looks kind of fun, like how the Northwest Suburbs close down Hines Park for bike riders every Saturday [[I think) morning, or how subdivisions have garden tours.

PARK[[ing) Day 2010 is Friday, September 17th!


Originally created by Rebar, San Francisco art and design collective, PARK[[ing) Day is an annual, one-day, global event where artists, activists, and citizens collaborate to temporarily transform metered parking spots into “PARK[[ing)” spaces: temporary public parks.

Anyone can participate in PARK[[ing) Day, though it is strictly a non-commercial project, intended to promote creativity, civic engagement, critical thinking, unscripted social interactions, generosity and play.
