After a group of University of Arkansas students built a mini park, or parklet, in a parking space on Dickson Street for a day, a local property management company liked their idea so much a parklet is now going to be up for a whole year. Randy Werner of Old Buildings LLC partnered with the students and the city to get a permit to set up the parklet in a parking space outside Blackboard Grocery & Eatery.
