National Parking Day

City of Big Shoulders
19 September 2008

For the second year in a row, The Trust for Public Land hosted a one-day-only park next to the future Bloomingdale Trail, on the 1800 block of north Milwaukee Avenue. The trail will be Chicago's first, and the world's third, linear park converted from an elevated train line. The Park(ing) Day site was next to a future park and access point to the trail.
