Centro San Antonio is partnering with the Texas American Society of Landscape Architects, 80/20 Foundation, and the San Antonio Chapter of the American Institute of Architects to celebrate National Park(ing) Day on Friday, Sept. 15 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
What is National Park(ing) Day?
We’re so glad you asked. This one-day-only international event allows local businesses to convert city streets + parking spaces into vibrant green places for art, play, and community engagement.
