We drive on parkways, park in driveways and more often than not parking is a pain. Too little of it and we either spent way too much time or money to park, too much of it and it destroys any city’s atmosphere. Planners, architects, business owners and drivers constantly argue over parking.
Too bad that parks, our beautiful recreational oases, and parking share the same word even though they have nothing in common. Or do they? A group of creative folks in San Francisco set out to create a park in a metered street parking spot.
Turns out that parking does not exclusively apply to vehicles. So, why not park a park? Or “pahk a pahk”, as they say in Boston. Here a link to the project including do-it-yourself instructions.
