(Park)ing Day in Williamsburg

We were able to visit the three Park(ing) spaces on Bedford Ave in Williamsburg this past Friday. Passing pedestrians were pleasantly surprised to find available green space for impromptu rest stops and reveled in the creativity

The first was a dedication to Buckminster Fuller, where the Park(ing) attendants were constructing a geodesic dome.


The second space was a Meditation Garden, where pedestrians were welcomed into a grass-filled garden surrounded by sand and pools of water.



The third space was the Cadillac of (Park)ing Day parks with two combined spaces. The first half was a jungle gym for the kids while the second half, The Extended Chill Space Park, was perfect for lounging parents and adults.
