General Event Guidelines

PARK(ing) projects will provide some form of nature or greenery, seating, and options for enjoying sun or shade in a 8 x 20 ft (6 x 2.4 m) metered parking spot.
Participants will select parking spots that are in accessible, preferably sunny, locations that receive regular foot traffic.
Participants will select parking spots in underserved and/or marginalized areas lacking open space.
Participants must feed the meter for the duration of the installation.
Participants must provide a feature that defines the edge of the PARK and protects PARK visitors from traffic.
Participants will post signs indicating the PARK is open to the public.
Participants will leave the installation site cleaner than they found it (leave no trace) and recycle, reuse, or donate all materials used for the event.
Participants must coply with all local, state and federal laws.
Participants will not intentionally cause conflict with vehicle owners, city staff, or police and will direct those seeking to park an automobile to a nearby area with ample parking, as identified by project participants.
