After over a decade of temporary parklets to advocate for reclaiming public space, we were so proud to help shepherd in the brand new Parklet Application Process thanks to Council Member Sean Parker and the whole team at NDOT for believing in the power of streets for the people.
This PARK(ing) Day, we decided to host a Parklet Design Competition, which you can learn more about here. Designers submitted ideas and a committee of 10 people chose the winner. On Sunday, September 17th, during global PARK(ing) Day weekend, we will be unveiling the fully built, winning parklet constructed by our partner, Hoar Construction.
Join us to celebrate the success of our advocacy and toast to Wilburn Street Tavern’s new outdoor patio in the street. In addition to a formal ribbon-cutting, you will get to see the submissions for the top 10 designs, purchase food and drinks, build-your-own tabletop parklets, play street mini-golf, dance to tunes spun by a DJ and more.
