Silver Lake Collaborative Park[ing] - - Park[ing] Day LA - The third annual Park[ing] Day LA, which will be on Friday, September 18th, will bring together a diverse constituency of community groups, neighborhood councils, design & architecture firms, professional organizations, non-profits, cyclists & pedestrian advocates as they work together to transform numerous parking spaces & parking lots located throughout LA into ephemeral parks for the day. By occupying a parking spot and feeding the meter, volunteers will enhance the street with a sustainably designed pocket-park.

Silver Lake Collaborative Park[ing]

Time: 10am - 3pm

de LaB, Curbed LA and Greenmeme will collaborate on a park in front of the restaurant LOCAL in Silver Lake that raises awareness about the distance our food travels from farm to mouth---and how "pocket farms" could grow enough food on the streets to feed our needs!

Join us at the only restaurant in LA that prides itself on sourcing all ingredients locally from responsible and friendly purveyors.

Curbed LA will be blogging live on LOCAL's free wifi, and special deals will be available for those who walk, bike or take public transportation.
