Park(ing) Day is a global event on the third Friday in September, sometimes continuing through the weekend. Parking spaces are repurposed, converted into parks, social spaces, dining rooms, art installations, etc. Streets are reimagined as safer, greener and more equitable spaces. 

You can make your own parklet, or wander the city centre to see any that pop up. Read more about it here.
