Would you like to turn this…

into this…



You can on Park(ing) Day! Park(ing) Day is an annual event that brings citizens together to transform metered parking spots into temporary public areas called, “park(ing) spaces.” Rebar, a San Francisco design studio, was the first to make over a metered parking spot into a public park. Below is the image of the first Park(ing) Space in 2005.
