Park(ing) Day Around the U.S.
It’s International Park(ing) Day, when people all over the world transform their cities’ most dead boring places — parking spaces — into temporary, creative community gathering places. We hope you got a chance to play, relax or socialize in a temporary park in your city today. But even if you didn’t, you can enjoy them vicariously through these pictures of the creative people doing creative things in cities throughout the U.S. today.
