PARK(ing) Day Recap
Individuals gathered in downtown on Friday to celebrate PARK(ing) Day, a global event to temporarily repurpose street parking spaces for other uses such as tiny parks, art displays, play areas, and social gatherings.
The Denton event was organized by Valley Quest Design, a landscaping architecture studio located just south of downtown. Other participants included Painted Flower Farm and Bike Denton. The groups enhanced the parking spaces with greenery, shade trees, seating areas, and bicycle parking.
Valley Quest Design participated in PARK(ing) Day in 2019, but before that, the last known PARK(ing) Day in Denton was in 2010 on W Hickory Street.
PARK(ing) Day occurs on the third Friday of September each year. If you have a great idea for how to temporarily repurpose a parking space, plan to participate next year!
