On Friday, September 20, 2024 Shoreline residents celebrated Park(ing) Day by transforming a parking space in front of Ridgecrest Books into a temporary pop-up park.

Neighbors created a tapestry project, decorated a playhouse sculpture made of recycled pallets, played games, and socialized. A bike mechanic from the Shoreline Tool Library provided free bike repairs and maintenance tips.

Park(ing) Day is an international event held in hundreds of cities where neighbors and community groups temporarily repurpose street parking spots as pop-up parks and social spaces. 

The event was spearheaded by Urbanist Shoreline, a new community group advocating policies to make Shoreline more liveable, affordable, and greener.
