This morning, street reclaimers across the country are settling into their Park(ing) spaces — more than 450 spots in 80 cities, according to the latest count. For our readers outside New York City, check out the Trust for Public Land’s Google map to find a spot near you. TPL also has a great round-up of Park(ing) Day media coverage and the beginnings of a Flickr pool.

New Yorkers: Here’s the link again to the map of Park(ing) locations, and don’t forget to tag your photos "streetsblog" when you upload them to Flickr.

Happy Park(ing)!
