DID YOU KNOW?

Philadelphia has over 10,000 acres of paved streets + nearly 4 parking spaces per household



PARK(ing) Day PHL, held annually on the third Friday of September, provides an opportunity to explore how public spaces could be better designed to serve us all. Parking spaces on the street are transformed for the day by volunteer groups into mini "parklets" the size of a car. These parklets allow us to better understand how much space in our city is given over to automobiles and invite you to engage with cleverly designed, temporary public spaces.

Wander Philadelphia's streets from 8:30 am - 4:00 pm to discover the parklets - where you can learn something, make something, or just relax! A printable map of all the parklet locations will be available for download beginning on September 13th.

PARK(ing) Day challenges us all to consider whether we are making the best use of our limited urban spaces.
