Park(ing) Day is an annual, global event that encourages community groups and business to transform an on-street parking place into a pop-up park for one day in mid-September!
The goal of Park(ing) Day is to inspire people to image what their surroundings would look like and be like if cars weren't given quite so much priority in ours lives and if our communities were more transit accessible and walkable.
Each year, the Bethesda Urban Partnership, BTS' parent organization, works with Montgomery County Commuter Services to mobilize Bethesda businesses and other community stake holders in this rethinking of the priorities of Bethesda's streets.
