Sacramento’s Inaugural Rooftop Pop Up Park
This weekend the roof of the 20th + L Street Parking Garage will be transformed into a pop-up urban park for a garden party you won’t want to miss.
This isn’t your granny’s garden party. The two day event will feature craft beer by Ruhstaller, sausages by LowBrau, morning yoga classes, a sculpture garden, and a bike polo court. The event is family friendly and there will be a children’s sidewalk chalk art event taking place to engage kids in the process of reimagining how rooftops can look, feel, and work downtown.
The event is being hosted by a team of green space loving Sacramentians (known as The Rooftop Alliance) who’re working to make rooftop gardens more common and more accessible right here in a Tree City USA (aka Sacramento).
Rooftop gardens would help keep Sacramento cooler in summer, manage stormwater in winter, provide open space for parks and agriculture in denser areas of the city, and make attractive use of an underutilized resource – our roofscape. Aside from all of those benefits, they are also great spaces for unwinding, entertaining, and taking in the view. Sacramento is also blessed with a climate ideally suited for spending time outdoors.
So, come on out and enjoy a one-of-a-kind public park.
Saturday 9/21 — 10:00a – 10:00p (food/beverages start at noon)
Sunday 9/22 — 8:00a – 12:00p
