PARK(ing) Day

Help us Show that Parks RULE, Cars DROOL on PARK(ing) Day
If Buckhead had a birthstone it would be concrete. Our paved paradise has some of Atlanta’s best high rises, restaurants and shopping, but our parks game is weak. Livable Buckhead is working on that… and we need your help.
On PARK(ing) Day — Friday, September 16 – we are staging a take-over of Buckhead’s biggest sea of concrete, the Lenox Square parking lot. What would you do with a little slice (17 x 9.5 feet) of prime Buckhead real estate? Throw up a tent and make yourself at home? Host a barbecue? Put in a miniature putting green? The possibilities are (almost) limitless.
What is PARK(ing) Day?
PARK(ing) Day is an annual global event where citizens, artists and activists temporarily transform parking spaces into public places. The goal is to call attention to the need for more urban open space. Livable Buckhead is also using this opportunity to raise funds for PATH400 and other parks and green spaces.
There’s definitely a serious message at the heart of PARK(ing) Day, but most of all it’s a great chance to showcase your creativity and have some fun!
Join Us for PARK(ing) Day
Even if you can’t create your own park you can still join in the PARK(ing) Day fun. Join us for lunch – we’ll have food trucks at Lenox Square between 11:30 and 1:30. Check out the creative mini parks and vote for your favorite.
