Parking Day (Auckland)
September 20, 2019, 6:30 am - 5:00 pm
Around the globe, people are celebrating the international PARK(ing) Day, an initiative to promote re-thinking of public space. The idea is to transform parking spaces into parks, playgrounds, BBQ parties, gardens… It is an occupation of car parking by people rather than cars.
Our Auckland Rebels are going to set up a few installations on High Street, starting very early in the morning in order to get the parking spaces. Our installations will be interactive so as to get passers-by engaged. We will of course put our environmental message across and raise awareness of upcoming actions including the School Strike For Climate on 27/09.
You can help with the following:
– More people are needed to relieve our volunteers who are going to wake up very early
– Foldable chairs and furniture
– Old rugs, plants, or fake grass to make the parking spaces we occupy feel homely.
Do show your interest on the facebook event to coordinate for this fun action!
