For those of you who are still a little ‘green around the ears’…..

On 17 September 2010, car spaces all over the world were transformed into parks, outdoor lounge rooms, public art spaces, outdoor offices, knitted gardens, and much more for International PARK(ing) Day. In Brisbane 60 of these PARKs were created in car spaces by students, artists, community groups, businesses, designers … and more. Amy Saunders co-ordinates the yearly event by promoting what the day is about, seeking out interested PARKers and promoting where/when people will be.

PARK(ing) Day has been occurring in Brisbane since 2007 – with 1 PARK in 2007, 45 in 2008, 50 in 2009 and 60 in 2010! We keep growing each year and will be back in 2011. Why don’t you join in on 16 September 2011?!

The PARKs are surprising, fun additions to the everyday street environments, and powerful symbols of placemaking and communities wanting to improve urban quality.

Brisbane PARK(ing) Day is all about –
1. Calling attention to the importance for urban public spaces
2. Rethinking the way we use our streets

3. Creating diverse conversations about how we can make sustainable cities
