It’s Park(ing) Day All Over America

by Ben Fried on September 19, 2008

This morning, street reclaimers across the country are settling into their Park(ing) spaces -- more than 450 spots in 80 cities, according to the latest count. For our readers outside New York City, check out the Trust for Public Land's Google map to find a spot near you. TPL also has a great round-up of Park(ing) Day media coverage and the beginnings of a Flickr pool.

New Yorkers: Here's the link again to the map of Park(ing) locations, and don't forget to tag your photos "streetsblog" when you upload them to Flickr.

Happy Park(ing)!

The Post Name "all over America" is a bit incorrect if it doesn't involve the rest of the Continent.

We had Park(ing) Day in Brazil as well, for the third year. How can I contribute to spread this information around?

All the best.
