Parks, Not Parking!

This Friday is National Park(ing) Day, and Minneapolis will be representing with a handful of temporary parks along busy downtown streets.  Look for green amid all the concrete, and be sure to stop by to say hello!  The map below indicates planned parking spots - though more are likely to be added, so check back on Friday morning for the latest.  Most parks are open during the lunch hour, from 11-2pm.  

Park(ing) Day Community Gathering!

From 5-8pm you are welcome to stop by the new office of Community Design Group at 212 3rd Avenue North, Suite 515. A Park(ing) Spot will be up for folks to enjoy, as well as drinks and a slide show of images from Park(ing) Days past.

Solutions Twin Cities and Community Design Group are co-sponsoring this get together, which will be a chance to learn more about Park(ing) Day and to talk with other folks who are interested in reclaiming streets for people.  

Hope to see you there!

I like the parkingday idea you have a lot. I'm trying to bring together some stories of cities for people on my website, and you have given me some inspiration. Thanks!
