PARK(ing) Day is "an annual worldwide event where artists, designers and citizens transform metered parking spots into temporary public parks." The idea started in 2005 when a man in San Francisco transformed a metered parking spot into a public park (pictured below). As the idea spread around the country, many asked him to set up a similar instillation in their city. And voila ... Park(ing) Day was born.
Every year I used to see tons of people in DC manning parking spaces downtown and was shocked to see a converted parking space in Baltimore this afternoon. Sadly I was running late for a meeting and was not able to stop for pictures, but it looked like they had a luau theme going on. Here are some pictures snagged off the internet from other Park(ing) Days.
