It's back! Parking Day 2011 on the streets of Adelaide September 16th...

PARK(ing) Day is a global event that was started in San Francisco by arts collective Rebar. Since 2005 PARK(ing) Day has grown to include over 500 installations in over 100 cities across North America, Europe, South America and Australia.

Its based on the idea that paying a parking meter is like 'renting' a public space, and instead of parking a car, why not park something else?

PARKs are surprising, fun additions to the everyday street environments, and powerful symbols of communities wanting to improve urban quality

On Friday 16th of September 2011 PARKs will spring up all over the world
