PARK(ing) Day
September 17, 2021 @ 11:00 am - 2:00 pm
On Friday, September 17th, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., 50 parking spaces in the Lenox Square parking lot along Peachtree Road will be transformed into mini-parks as part of PARK(ing) Day. The event also includes activities for the Buckhead lunch time crowd, including the only time you’ll see food trucks at Lenox Square. Each of the mini-parks will have interactive elements as well, and visitors will be asked to vote for their favorites.
PARK(ing) Day is a worldwide event where citizens, artists, and activists collaborate to temporarily transform parking spaces usually reserved for cars into temporary public parks or displays of art or community.
Buckhead has a great opportunity to demonstrate the lack of public park space in the community and emphasize the importance of parks. Livable Buckhead will use PARK(ing) Day to help call attention to the need for more urban open space, to generate critical debate around how public space is created and allocated, and to provide a fun opportunity for positive community interaction in an unlikely place: the Lenox Square parking lot!
