PARK(ing) Day POSTPONED

Join the Future of New Urbanism - Central Texas and Safe Streets Austin at W 21st St and University Ave on Friday, October 28 from 9-5 to celebrate PARK(ing) Day!

To enjoy milder Austin weather, we've moved PARK(ing) Day from September to October (Walktober). PARK(ing) Day temporarily repurposes street parking spaces as “parklets” in order to create public space and inspire discussions about land use and active transportation.

If you are interested in volunteering, or your organization would like to activate a space at PARK(ing) Day, please let us know!
