Yesteday was PARKing Day 2010, where for a day (or a few hours) parking spaces around the city become tiny, temporary parks. We ventured out for a late lunch and found people kicking back at a couple of locations in the Financial District and near Union Square. Rumor has it there's a much greater turnout in the Mission (more general hanging out) and SOMA ( a higher concentration of architecture and design firms). Above is Method's mini-park/cornhole court

"PARK(ing) Day is an annual, worldwide event that inspires city dwellers everywhere to transform metered parking spots into temporary parks for the public good."
