Pittsburgh Park(ing) Day
Friday, September 16, 2011
PARK(ing) Day is an annual, one-day, international event in which artists, designers, activists and citizens collaborate to temporarily transform parking spots into “PARK(ing)” spaces.
This is an opportunity to get Pittsburghers thinking about how important public spaces are and how parks improve our communities. These park installations aim to transform urban environments designed for vehicle use into a communal space for public use. They also provide a chance to generate more awareness about
organizations by showcasing their mission, activities and values.
