While yesterday was Car Free Day, along the same lines I’m loving the idea of National PARK(ing) Day. I’ve been researching a lot on Austin lately (for work and play), and came across this on All Things Austin Design. National PARK(ing) Day is an event where artists, communities and activists collaborate and turn parking spaces into temporary public parks. This year’s event expanded across more of the US and took place last Friday, so click here to check out some of the awesome mini parks created for the event! What a seriously great way to sit back and relax!{Austin park map via Austin Green Art, photo via sunnygreer on flickr}
