We are planning an old-fashion block party. Picture an area in downtown Parkersburg that is temporarily closed to motorized vehicles and designated so community members can safely bike, walk, run, dance and play. That is what Park Day is all about. Enter the Pocket Park contest where you design the pocket park you would like Parkersburg to create. Have an activity to share? Let us know!
Market street in downtown Parkersburg
Contact: Kimberly Jo Coram
Parkersburg,WV 26101
10 am - 2 pm on September 14, 2013
Free to attend
This event is hosted by the Parkersburg Bicycle Advisory Board.
Goal: To encourage residents to connect to Downtown PKB and use active transportation such as walking and biking and to encourage downtown businesses to support these modes of transportation.
