Step 1 · Acquire
Find a lot
Type an address, or browse the map of vacant land. The site checks the same City records atlas.phila.gov shows — owner, lot size, zoning, vacancy — and tells you which Park in a Truck size fits.
Look up an address
Vacant land near you
Lots the City lists as vacant land, coloured by who owns them. Click one to see its owner and size, then save it as your park lot or add it to your list. Walk the block too — the City's list misses some lots and includes some that are already in use.
Compare your possible lots
