Hello,
I was looking at your blog today, and thought that you and your readers might be interested in participating in or promoting National Park(ing) Day 2008, an annual event, happening in Pittsburgh on September 19th, which celebrates parks in cities by creating temporary parks in public parking spaces. National Park(ing) Day is an all-volunteer event, and any participation is welcome. One can, build his or her own park, help others build parks, or simply visit Park(ing) Day parks throughout the day. Look at http://www.tpl.org/parkingday for details, a how-to manual, photos and videos, or to connect with participants near you.
Please consider posting information about Park(ing) Day on your website, as it is a very fun and creative opportunity to generate conversation and emphasize the continued necessity of parks and open space in our cities.
Let me know if you are interested, or if you have any questions about the event. Thank you for your time,
Nathan Tone
