Historically Hip POP-UP PARK!

Inspired by the global Park(ing) Day movement, the Pop-Up Parks will be judged in a People’s Choice Award contest based on the theme, Hope Core, which celebrates the small moments that bring people together—whether it’s a pocket garden, a cozy reading nook, a mini art gallery, or simply a place that makes someone smile.
