Parklets

Our RideWise Parklet is available for borrowing!

If you’re one of our municipal partners, consider borrowing our new pop-up parklet to provide shoppers, cyclists, or pedestrians with a place to stop and rest while they enjoy your downtown. It’s the perfect way to test-drive the concept of a parklet before committing to building one. Contact us at staff@ridewise.org and click here for the parklet borrowing agreement to get started.


In recent times, parklets have become both a local and national movement. This movement is bringing about a fundamental shift in how people and communities think about public spaces. Through these types of projects we can inspire action from the community, draw attention to the needs in the public space, and begin to create equitable spaces for everyone by encouraging team work and a sense of belonging.
