When is a parking space not a parkingspace? When it’s a Park(ing) Space park,136 square feet asphalt temporarily transformed into playful community.
As part of Walk & Bike Month, June13th has been declared Park(ing) Spaces
Day in Boulder.To celebrate, business & folks all over town will be taking over a parking spots from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
What can be done with 8 feet by 17 feet of asphalt? The ground’s the limit! Rumor has it,there will be dog barks, gardens and outdoor work stations.
What’s the point? Park(ing) Space parks raise awareness of the trade-off between space for cars vs. space for humans. If we shift our resources toward improved mass transit and steelwork,how could we reclaim parking spaces? More housing? More outdoor dining? More trees?More water? (Did you know paved parking generates excess water that goes directly to storm drains instead of remaining in the soil .Greening a parking place, or using pervious paving, saves water. )
Also, there will be the Park(ing) Spaces Game, where participants will bike or walk to all the Park(ing) Spaces, get their game card stamped,and enter to win prizes! Download your Park(ing)Spaces game card here.
For all these reasons, plus the honorable goal of simply increasing fun and building community, the City of Boulder and Community Cycles invite you visit all of the Park(ing) Spaces on June 13th and play the Park(ing) Spaces game. Download your Park(ing)Spaces game card here.
