Downtown Toledo 

On September 20th, 2024, join Toledo Design Collective for PARK(ing) Day, an annual global movement to reclaim parking spaces and transform them into engaging public spaces. From interactive art installations to green spaces and community workshops, there will be something for everyone to enjoy. Come explore, engage, and be inspired by the possibilities of urban design. Stay tuned for more details!

Why PARK(ing) Day?

Currently, the City is exploring how parking minimums may encourage more downtown development, instead of inhibiting it, as it currently does. This is backed up by a recent downtown parking study conducted through ConnecToledo in 2018. This study looked into what percentage of on and off-street parking spaces were used within the downtown area during different times of the day. The study looked at all downtown districts including UpTown District, Warehouse District, Government District, and Central Business District.
