The vision behind Park(ing) Day was to repurpose street parking spaces for community use, demonstrating how urban areas can creatively allocate space to enhance public life.
Originally launched in 2005, Park(ing) Day began when Rebar transformed a parking spot into a park to illustrate the potential of streets as community spaces.
Parklets are no longer a novelty—over the years, they have become a mainstream feature in urban design, especially amplified during the pandemic for outdoor dining.
Cities have come to recognize the value of parklets, providing guidance and support as they contribute positively to urban vitality, showing that streets can serve varied purposes.
