National PARK(ing) Day 2010 is Friday, September 17th!
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.
Mark Granlund, the Arts and Gardens Coordinator from the City of St. Paul’s Parks and Recreation Department, is looking for someone to partner with on the creation of a PARK(ing) Space for PARK(ing) Day. If you’re interested, contact him at 651.632-2454 or shoot us an email and we’ll get you connected.
