Congress Ave is about to be transformed by three new pop-up parks. What is a pop-up park you ask? Parking spots transformed into mini-parks in an effort to raise awareness about the amount of space used in our city for parking. 3-4 parking spots will be used to make these parklets on Congress between 4th and 5th street. This same space only serves 5-6 people per day for car use, but as a mini-park will serve hundreds according to the City of Austin. The pop-up parks will provide seating, games and other activites to pedestrian traffic.
