PARK(ing) Day 2009 is Friday, September 18th!
Originally created by Rebar, San Francisco art and design collective, PARK(ing) Day is an annual, one-day, global event where artists, activists, and citizens collaborate to temporarily transform metered parking spots into “PARK(ing)” spaces: temporary public parks.
Anyone can participate in PARK(ing) Day, though it is strictly a non-commercial project, intended to promote creativity, civic engagement, critical thinking, unscripted social interactions, generosity and play.

Love it. Outrageous by local standards.
I'm envisioning a park on a platform board that spans the roof racks of, say, 6 Suburban-type vehicles. Party atop the SUV's.
