PARK(ing) Day Tacoma – Downtown on the Go<\/span><\/i><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
PARK(ing) Day began in 2005 when Rebar, an art and design studio, converted a single metered parking space in downtown San Francisco into a temporary public park for two hours\u2014the allotted time on the parking meter.\u00a0 A photo of the temporary on-street park circulated on the internet and PARK(ing) Day was born!<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Last year, metered parking spots in 162 cities in 35 countries were transformed into 975 temporary parks.\u00a0 People were invited to use their streets in a fun and different way, and the public was encouraged to rethink the value of a metered parking space as public space.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
If you live in Tacoma, check this map<\/a> to find out where the dozen plus PARK(ing) Day mini-parks will be in your community.\u00a0 They even suggest a PARK(ing) Day walk route for you!\u00a0 Downtown on the Go<\/a> and a host of others are the organizers for this year’s events.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Seattle also has a dozen plus spots reserved tomorrow.\u00a0 Here\u2019s the map<\/a> for Seattle\u2019s PARK(ing) Day sites.\u00a0 The Bicycle Alliance is co-hosting a Summer Lawn Party<\/a> PARK(ing) Day site in Pioneer Square.\u00a0 Drop by for some games, hang out in the lawn chairs, watch members of The Guardians<\/a> put on a bike polo demonstration, and more!<\/span><\/div>\n
