Hankook Park(ing) Day L.A.
September 19, 2008
Metered parking spaces throughout the greater Los Angeles area were transformed into mini parks Friday as Angelenos celebrated the 2nd annual Park(ing) Day L.A. Organizers say the annual event is an important day for addressing park space in Los Angeles, something we are on the low side of per capita. It is recommended that there are 8-10 acres of parks and open space for every 1000 residents. Los Angeles reportedly has about 10% of that. This gives us a chance to extend kudos to KTAN-TV news director Kyung Hwa Park’s outstanding local Asian American reportage.
