Park(ing) Day Pittsburgh

Originally created by Rebar, San Francisco art and design collective, PARK(ing) Day is an annual, one-day, global event where artists, activists, and citizens collaborate to temporarily transform metered parking spots into “PARK(ing)” spaces: temporary public parks. Anyone can participate in PARK(ing) Day, though it is strictly a non-commercial project, intended to promote creativity, civic engagement, critical thinking, unscripted social interactions, generosity and play.

Bob's Maps

Bob Firth of the Pittsburgh based company Bob's Maps has generously offered to create a map for us this year. The map will show where the 40+ 'parks' are located and will be a great resource for anyone planning to travel around the city checking out the different spots.
FYI: REI will be making smores at their park, hmmm, that's worth a trip to the SouthSide Works, right?
Here is a nice sample of a map they created recently...to all the Pens fans out there you might want to take a look at this.
