Join us this Friday, 9/19, as we participate for the second year in National Park(ing) Day. We roll out the sod on two parking spaces on the Avenue, add chairs, tables, and hopefully YOU.

Park(ing) Day is a day to celebrate parks in cities and to promote the need for more public space by creating temporary public parks.

Come out and enjoy. Bring your lunches to eat, your newspapers to read, instruments to play, your poetry or spoken word to share–or hey, even your lawnchair. Come out, relax, enjoy.

Local restaurants, Kum Kau and Liberty Pizza will provide tastings around lunchtime. Furniture and plants courtesy of Anima, Optimum Care and Root Stock & Quade. And there will even be treats and water for the precious pooches courtesy of NYCPet.com.

Where: Myrtle Avenue (between Washington Avenue and Hall Street), 9a – 5p.

After you stop by to say hello to us, please visit other nearby Fort Greene/ Clinton Hill Parks: bocce ball at “Gutter Ball Park” at Myrtle and Hall (directly in front of Bergen Bagel) and environmental workshops at “Habana Works” at Fulton and So. Portland Streets, both until 7pm.
