Park(ing) Day in Tucson – Sept 19

September 18, 2008 | By Kelley Koehler | Filed Under Tucson Events 

PARK(ing) Day by StewfTomorrow, there’s a rather cool and funky event happening in Tucson.  It’s called Park(ing) Day.  This is a once-per-year global event to promote the need for more parks and open spaces in urban areas.

 

During Park(ing) Day, volunteers take over a public parking spot and turn it into a park. 

 

There’s a map of Tucson Park(ing) Day "parks" here.  Most are in the Downtown, 4th Avenue, University area. 

 

If you look at that map of Tucson parks, you’ll notice that the free downtown redLine shuttle goes to most of them.  Here’s the redLine Schedule, should you want to explore the Park(ing) Day parks in Tucson with a bit less walking and a bit more free public transportation!
