PARK(ing) Day re-imagining public spaces

A number of parking stalls in downtown Edmonton will be transformed into creative spaces Friday for PARK(ing) Day.

The stalls will become artistic displays, interactive installations and more.

"PARK(ing) Day is a powerful way for us to re-imagine how we use our public space,” said David Holdsworth, senior planner with Urban Renewal in a written release. “As we densify and grow our city toward two million people, the way we use public space becomes increasingly important."

The event is celebrated around the world, and began in San Francisco in 2005.
