It all started when…
We built a demonstration parklet in front of Kaliente Restaurant at the 2013 El Sobrante Stroll.
What Is a Parklet?
Parklets are small sidewalk extensions intended to provide amenities, green space, or recreational areas to the public. They are usually constructed to encompass the area of a typical parking space(s), and are open to any member of the public. The purpose of community parklets is to maximize a sense of community by utilizing public spaces for aesthetic amenities to create features of interest or opportunities for informal gatherings.
Build a parklet downtown
Contra Costa has a parklet program to support local businesses plan, permit, and build a parklet.
