Following on from Jane’s Walk (see below), Friday, September 18th sees the first Phoenix Park(ing) Day, an annual, one-day, global event that promotes the importance of green and urban public spaces.

The concept of PARK(ing) Day is based on the idea that putting money into a parking meter is like ‘renting’ a public space. It is intended to help people rethink the way we use our streets and creates diverse conversations about how we can make sustainable cities.

The Park(ing) ’spaces’ will be created adjacent to ASU Downtown, on 1st St. between Polk St. and Fillmore St. from 7a.m. to 9 a.m.

Please show up to lend your support, or just to absorb with your morning coffee.
