National Park(ing) Day in Portland Monthly!

National Park(ing) Day in Portland Monthly!

National PARK(ing) Day is being spearheaded in Portland by Kimpton owned properties, the Hotel Monaco Portland, Hotel Vintage Plaza, Red Star and Pazzo Ristorante, along with The Trust for Public Land.

On September 19th, 2008 Portlanders will have yet another reason to park their cars as they will reclaim the streets for National PARK(ing) Day, a one-day celebration where artists, citizens and businesses collaborate to temporarily transform parking spots into parks, returning the urban landscape to its natural form.

Downtown’s SW 5th Avenue will be closed for the day to decorate more than a dozen parking spaces on the street between Washington and Alder. The day will culminate at this site with a “Party in the Park” featuring a bluegrass band, pork roast and a Beer Garden sponsored by the Oregon Brewers Guild, from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. Play hopscotch, take a ride down the slide and most importantly, come celebrate keeping Portland green while raising money for The Trust for Public Land.
