Parklets - Your Guide to Creating A Pop-up Park on Your Street

This guide will give you some hints and tips on how to create your own parklet.

This guide will give you some hints and tips on how to create your own parklet.  A parklet or pop-up park can transform a parking spot or some road space into a place the whole community can use. These temporary small green spaces provide somewhere for people to sit, chat and relax – and because they make streets more pleasant for walking and cycling, they can help encourage people to get out and about. Parklets really don’t have to be expensive and the only limit is your imagination!
