Hundreds of parking spots will morph into impromptu micro-parks today, as the second Park(ing) Day LA gets underway.
Parking spots -- with meters constantly fed -- will be filled with plants and other items up and down Wilshire, among other spots.
The goal? To remind the city that Los Angeles "significantly lacks adequate & accessible open space, urban parks, plazas and civic centers":
While the recent development of such parks as the LA Historic State Park, Rio de Los Angeles State Park, Baldwin Hills Conservancy & Audubon Center at Debs Park are enthusiastically applauded, Park[ing] Day LA hopes to further celebrate the momentum of providing additional parks & open space throughout Los Angeles – especially as it relates to smaller, more infill opportunities to enhance the public realm with the benefit of recreation, landscape, habitat and opportunities to cool the City with increased canopy coverage.
