Park[ing] Day was started in 2005, when the Rebar group, a small group out of San Francisco, opened eyes worldwide by transforming a metered parking spot into a park-for-a-day in an effort to make a public comment on the lack of quality open space in American cities. Their goal was to reprogram the urban surface by reclaiming streets for people to rest, relax and play.
Flying Pigeon LA’s park is sure to be a pleasing place to hang out and take in the day – we’ve got free wifi, an open bathroom, we’ll have some trees as well as places to sit.
To get involved in this year’s activities, check out these two sites:
