DJ's will spin vinyl(yes, records!) at press time have not confirmed live acts,but have a verbal with vendor and will shift to suit schedule.(chicken leather from killradio maybe able to free up his 'instores' and join the

Hosted by The Trust for Public Land and Community Health Councils
9:30 am-3:30 pm
Los Angeles, CA: The Trust for Public Land (TPL) invites you into 131.4 square feet of tranquility in the center of the asphalt jungle next Friday. Step into an eco-friendly, drought tolerant oasis to enjoy a bit of calm while cars and pedestrians pass by on their lunch hour. TPL will transform a parking space at 7th and Flower into a tranquility garden to call attention to the need for parks in urban Los Angeles. Public space makes a city more livable and creates a sense of community by encouraging people to stop and connect.
Cities across America will gain new green space on National Park(ing) Day, September 21, as parking spots nationwide are transformed into public parks. The goal is to raise awareness about the need for more public open space in densely populated urban areas. Supporters in more than twenty cities, including New York, Boston, Chicago, Minneapolis, Washington D.C, Seattle, San Francisco, and Los Angeles, have announced participation. Organizers are also inviting local groups to participate, expanding the opportunity from one park to a system of park(ing) parks. Details online at
www.tpl.org/parkingday
.
In addition to the tranquility garden downtown, TPL's Healthy Parks Healthy Communities Program is partnering with Community Health Councils to create a fitness-themed park in South LA. The park, located at the 3800 block of Crenshaw Boulevard, will include an obstacle course to get visitors' hearts racing. The partnership promotes parks as venues for physical activity.
TPL recently introduced a Fitness Zones program that installs outdoor gym equipment in existing public parks, encouraging communities to get healthy by getting active. Fitness Zones can be found at Sunshine Park in La Puente, Dalton Park in Azusa, Roosevelt Park and Belvedere Park in Los Angeles, and San Angelo Park in La Puente.
Other local and national groups participating in Park(ing) Day LA include Livable Places, AIA, the American Institute of Architects (Los Angeles Chapter), Illuminate L.A., North East Trees, and Bicycle Kitchen. At present, there are more than 30 parks planned in the greater Los Angeles area, ranging from an urban forest to a trailer park.
"The Trust for Public Land is addressing two of LA's needs with our planned Park(ing) Day installations," said Debra Geiler, Southern California Director of The Trust for Public Land. "Our fitness-themed park will call attention to the health benefits of open space, and the disparity in access to quality recreational opportunities. Our tranquility park is about making the city greener, calmer, and more pedestrian-friendly."
TPL is sponsoring National Park(ing) Day 2007, a concept created by San Francisco art collective Rebar (
www.rebargroup.org
). In 2005, Rebar created its first "PARK(ing)" project by transforming a metered parking spot into a temporary public park, briefly expanding the public realm and improving the quality of urban human habitat (at least until the meter ran out).
"Our goal was to encourage people to rethink the way our streets are used, and to temporarily expand the amount of public open space in an underserved area of downtown San Francisco," says John Bela, co-founder of Rebar. "We added '24,000 square foot-minutes' of public open space that afternoon."
The Trust for Public Land (TPL) is a national, nonprofit, land conservation organization that conserves land for people to enjoy as parks, community gardens, historic sites, rural lands, and other natural places, ensuring livable communities for generations to come. Since 1972, TPL has protected more than two million acres nationwide. TPL depends on the support of individuals, corporations, and foundations.
Community Health Councils is a non-profit, community-based health promotion, advocacy and policy organization. Established in 1992, CHC's mission is to improve health and increase access to quality healthcare for uninsured, economically-disadvantaged, and underserved populations. For more information on the event in South Los Angeles, contact Mia Boykin at Community Health Councils, mia@chc-inc.org or 323.295.9372 x216.

The Urban Forest: Restoring Nature's Services.
North East Trees, a design-build, non-profit, environmental firm, uses Southern California native plants, recycled materials and innovative technology to help create an effective urban forest in Los Angeles. It includes trees, shrubs, groundcover, mulch, soil and water. The urban forest in our parks, green spaces and street tree plantings makes our environment healthy and attractive, cleans our air and water, mitigates the urban heat island effect, provides wildlife habitat and invites us back into nature.

Easy access from Metro bus lines 20, 720 or 206 and the Metro Red/Purple Line (use the Wilshire/Western train - not the North Hollywood one). The party is at the top of the street, just south of 6th.

"Gone in 60 Minutes"
9:00 to 10:00am
Concept - We see the chance to reuse the many cardboard tubes lying around in our office that have been left over from deliveries to us by our local reprographics company. This park will contain grass and a potted flowerbed built out of cardboard reprographic tubes. Visitors are encouraged to take a pot and feed it with water and nutrients, place it on their office desk or plant it in their garden. A bicycle rack will be integrated into a tube barrier from traffic and seating will be provided under shade. We would like to find a home for each of the potted plants and recycle the tubes appropriately.

: Ah'bé Landscape Architects
All Day Event (depending on parking enforcement)
“Do you have open space in your life?”
ah’bé landscape architects will ask passer-by this question on Friday, September 21st, 2007 from their PARK(ing) spot in Downtown Culver City. Pedestrians, bikers, lunch-goers, the curious, and maybe even a few drivers will have the opportunity to answer by exploring our parked park.
Our park will be an eye-catcher. Bright orange traffic cones will be re-purposed as vases and will double as a sunflower filled edge and safety barrier. The cone-vases can be moved around throughout the day and re-positioned at anyone’s whim. The asphalt will be covered with green artificial turf and we’ll have a few inviting places to sit down available as well (furniture will be sponsored by Landscape Forms).
Visitors will have the opportunity to participate in the space by jotting down their thoughts about our question posed to them in a guest book/on slips of paper/on materials that will join the tall flowers. Comments collected will be incorporated into a larger document to be posted on our website as a record of the event. We will also have coffee grounds available to give away that will be collected throughout the day from the Starbucks Coffee Shop we are PARK(ed) next to.

: SAJE (Strategic Actions for a Just Economy)
The SAJE “Ice Cream Social In The PARK”:
3PM-5PM
The SAJE Park will be one of two parks located in South LA and the only one in the Figueroa Corridor. Based in a South LA “industrial zone,” SAJE’s neighborhood was once primarily residential, and there continues to be children and families on every street. However, those families now live right next door to warehouses and sweatshops. For several blocks in every direction from our community space at SAJE, there is not one green space or outdoor gathering space. We will be messaging that our community is just that—a community—and that we have the right to good resources and access to green space while also promoting a good time in the park by giving out ice cream cones to all our park participants.

: Pasadena City College Park(ing) Art Consortium
Park(ing) as an Art Park:
10:00 am to noon
Five advanced sculpture students from Pasadena City College, under the direction of Deena Caperelli, will combine their visual commentaries on parks and park(ing) spaces. The site will include wire trees, seedlings, a barbeque and a life size metal deer. Their objective is to engage people in the streets of Pasadena with discussion and encourage contemplation of the amount of public space devoted and designed for cars verses alternate uses of public space designed for the enjoyment citizens. The ultimate goal for (Art) Park is to enhance quality of life in the city, even if the experience will just last until the parking meter runs out.

Seed Bank:

***APPROXIMATE LOCATION***
Please look around for us as we are selecting a nearby site with just the right conditions for our planting.
The site is in the Ballona Watershed and plays off
the notion of a bank, as in river, and redefining the curb as a
riverbank.
Riparian (river species) seeds will be installed with a seed hopper and the space will be delineated with white flour. A word will be stenciled over the seeds with
soil. After the two hours is up, the team and participants will use water to wash the piece into an adjacent storm drain, to seed Ballona Creek.
