Today is Park(ing) Day, that magical day in September when any public parking space can be transformed in to a blissful urban oasis with a little elbow grease and an sack full of quarters (for the meters, obviously). Here's a smattering of the pop-up parks and parklets from around town. Take a look at the map if you'd like to stroll by them on your own and don't forget the after party tonight with the event's creators.

If you've got photos of your own, or want to show off your Parking(ing) day masterpiece please do send photos or tag them with "SFist" on flickr.
