San Francisco isn’t alone in learning the value of parklets. Communities around the country are recognizing their distinct values and going all in.
Revitalization
Once parklets are installed, they not only serve a purpose themselves but also have been known to prompt a “spillover effect.”
People attract people. Those who make use of the parklets draw the eye and attention of passersby, who are then likewise prompted to stop, gather, and commune.
Socialization
The most common behaviors at parklets are eating and talking. Whether folks are sitting down at a parklet that serves as an extension of a local cafe or stopping for a rest and a sip of water at a mini-park style parklet, people are drawn together in a shared space. There, they’re free to talk, laugh, and connect.
