The Golden Cone Awards are presented annually to the PARK(ing) Day PHL teams whose parklets inspire and delight us the most. PARK(ing) Day is an annual, daylong global event where citizens, artists, and activists collaborate to temporarily transform metered parking spaces into "PARK(ing)" spaces: temporary public mini-parks, or "parklets".
