WHAT IS A PARKLET?
I A parklet is an on-street parking space that is converted to an outdoor seating or community
gathering space. They can include seating, plants, tables/chairs, public art and other approved
amenities. During the COVID-19 pandemic parklets were an innovative approach used by many
communities to help restaurants stay open. The program is intended to help create more spaces
in the downtown where patrons can gather while fostering a more enjoyable shopping, dining
and recreation experience.
AREA OF ELIGIBILITY
Parklets are only allowed on a first come, first served basis within the downtown Central
Point Central Business District adjacent to the Employment Commercial (EC) Zone on 1st
through 6th Street, with the exception of North 2nd Street.
