International Parking Day
PARK(ing) Day 2021
International Parking Day
PARK(ing) Day returns to the District of Columbia on Friday, September 17, 2021, from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm. This annual event is an opportunity for District residents and businesses to display their creativity, building pop-up parks in curbside parking spaces throughout the District's eight wards.
Initially started in San Francisco in 2005, PARK(ing) Day is an event in which residents and businesses re-think the use of public space by converting metered on-street parking spaces into temporary parks. Since its inception, the event has spread to cities around the world, taking place on the third Friday of September.
The pop-up parklet locations for PARK(ing) Day 2021 are located in the map at: https://bit.ly/3EpxBMg . The map also includes a suggested bike route for those who choose to visit parklets by bicycle, DDOT’s recommended mode of transportation for the event!
The DDOT announcement of Park(ing) Day DC is here: https://ddot.dc.gov/page/parking-day-dc
Be sure to check out the parklets created around the world – see https://www.myparkingday.org/ for photos!
