Parking Day 2023

Parking Day 2023: It's A Wrap!

2023 saw many firsts for Parking Day in Singapore! 


Movements for Health is a budding initiative and Parking Day 2023 provided a platform for dynamic engagement, from our cohosts Beyond Social Services, Boon Lay RC Zone C to Hood Jurong by Hatch, to community members, leaders and youths who stepped up as parklet owners and curious residents who paused for a moment to engage with the many original expressions of what a good life might look like.
