Park(ing) Day 2008 This Friday

Lots of public space is reserved for our cars. In fact, our streets are literally lined with space reserved for cars. There are entire lots reserved for cars (parking lots, they’re called). Well this Friday that all changes. September 19 is Park(ing) Day 2008 and for that one day, people in cities all over the nation will be turning parking spaces into public parks. Drop by the GOOD offices for Park(ing) Day in LA! Details below.

We’ll have a park set up in the metered spaces in front of the GOOD offices on the corner of Melrose and Orange in LA. Drop by any time between 10am and 3pm. We’ll have free lemonade and buttons. Fun!

If you want to get involved in another city, check the National Park(ing) Day website is here. There are also city-specific websites for Park(ing) Day LA and Park(ing) Day NY.

Finally, here’s a video of last year’s Park(ing) Day.
