Cities are shaped by the people who participate in them.
For twenty years, thousands of people around the world have transformed ordinary parking spaces into extraordinary places for connection, creativity, ecology, learning, and play.
Together, these temporary public prototypes have inspired conversations, challenged assumptions, and helped communities imagine new possibilities for their streets.
But movements don't sustain themselves.
Behind the Global Map, the website, the How-to Manual, and the free resources shared each year is a small team of volunteers quietly stewarding Park(ing) Day for a growing worldwide community.
If Park(ing) Day has inspired you, helped you see your city differently, or encouraged you to prototype an idea of your own, we'd be grateful for your support.
Your donation helps us:
Keep the Global Map free and accessible.
Maintain the website and open resources.
Develop new tools for organizers around the world.
Steward Park(ing) Day into its next twenty years.
Every contribution—large or small—helps keep participation open to everyone.
Prototype Tomorrow.
Help us steward what comes next.
The Park(ing) Day Network is fiscally sponsored by ISI, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, and all donations are tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law.
