Park(ing) Day in North Beach

Filed under: fun, life, san francisco — Lindsay @ 2:42 pm


Today was Park(ing) Day around the world. SF Weekly explains that the day “was dreamed up by Rebar, a San Francisco-based art and design collective, and invites participants to convert a parking space into a green space that becomes a spontaneous public park for a day.”   I went to North Beach on my lunch break to go to the bank, and to my pleasant surprise, I found a great spot outside of Lola’s on Grant Street.  After lunch, I walked the full stretch and found about 5 park(ing) spots.  I read a book, I hoola hooped, and I got some free lemonade!  Having to decline the “adult” lemonade in exchange for the regular lemonade because I had to return to work was the only sad moment.

Here are some of my “better” pictures (give my blackberry a break). You can see the entire set here.
