Each year on Parking Day, coveted curbside parking spaces in Denton, TX, are claimed by couches, games, potted plants, information tables, and conversations about the city’s future.

PARK(ing) Day returns to the City and County of Denver as we join other cities around the world in temporarily reclaiming on-street parking spaces for people places, or “parklets.” PARK(ing) Day is an annual event that encourages businesses, community groups, and other organizations to reimagine parking spaces and public streets as vibrant, people-friendly places.

What began in 2005 as Park(ing) Day evolved into part of a global movement for transforming city streets.
