What are parklets
Parklets can transform parking spaces into vibrant public spaces built for people to sit, relax, and enjoy the city. Parklets are best where the street lacks public space, or the footpaths are too narrow to provide outdoor dining spaces.
All parklets are smokefree.
Benefits of a parklet
Parklets can:
- improve the street experience
- be good for businesses because they bring more life to the street
- provide more space to socialise
- slow traffic and make the street safer
- help give an area its own special feel and identity
- be low cost and simple to construct
- provide more outdoor space for businesses and their customers to safely spend time during the Covid-19 pandemic.
