PARK(ing) Day is an annual event where citizens, organizations & businesses temporarily transform metered parking spaces along Main Street into short term public “PARK” installations. Rather than parking a car, the metered space is used to promote human use & activity for downtown employees, residents & visitors.
On Friday, September 20, 2013 downtown Dallas will host its 3rd PARK(ing) Day event from 11:00am to 7:00pm on Main Street between Field Street and St Paul Street.
