An international event, with 55 sites this year in NYC, Park(ing) Day highlights the public space that is devoted to streets and parking. For one day only, groups transform a parking space into a public park. These creative and active sites suggest alternative purposes for such space that can benefit more people in a wider range of uses than storing an empty personal transportation vehicle.
Cortelyou Road Park is a project of the Livable Streets initiative of Sustainable Flatbush. As the Director of the Urban Gardens & Farms initiative of Sustainable Flatbush, I loaned much of my garden furniture and container plants to help transform a parking space on busy Cortelyou Road into a garden room.
We’re having a great time, and the day is not quite half over as I write this first post of the day. I’ll be trying to update during the day. You can also follow me today on Twitter.

You sure did a good job there! 😉
I love 'Biophilia in Action.' Made me smile remembering the NY Times story about homeowners who pave over their property so their kids won't get "dirt and bugs and stuff."
Looks like a fantastic day. I'm so glad the weather helped out. Great photos!
