Please join PGASLA at PARK(ing) Day 2021 in downtown Kansas City  September 18, Saturday from 10am to 6pm — Festival begins at 10am, parklet set up starts at 8am or earlier. Proclamation ceremony at noon.

PARK(ing) Day highlights the need for more pedestrian-friendly spaces in our city. PARK(ing) Day began in 2005 in San Francisco and grew into the global event when celebrated annually by hundreds of cities when community members transform street parking spaces into creative pop-up parks. This event has been embraced by ASLA and is celebrated each year by Landscape Architects all over the world.

During KCMO’s block party, downtown Walnut Street parking spots will turn into vibrant, temporary parklets filled with art, music, food, relaxation, education, and entertainment. City residents will enjoy spaces normally reserved for storing cars. Anyone can host a parklet, including citizens, businesses, and organizations. The winner of The Best Parklet goes home with the coveted Golden Cone!

Sponsors to PGASLA have generously donated supplies and items for our parklet design – PGASLA has two parklets. We are needing your support to make this event fun and show our representation in PARK(ing) Day! This will be a great opportunity to meet other members of PGASLA and be a part of something fun and creative.
