One day each year, people around the world repurpose street parking spaces in their communities - turning them into tiny parks and places for art and play to flourish.

This year, what’s known as Park(ing) Day is this Friday - and here in downtown Chattanooga, you’ll find it along Broad St. between 6th and 8th Streets.

Ginger Birnbaum and Sydney Smith of Chattanooga Design Studio tell us more about it - and about Design Your Neighborhood.
