2 WHAT S A POCKET PARK?

3 WHAT S A POCKET PARK? Pocket parks are urban open spaces on a small-scale and provide a safe and inviting environment for surrounding community members. Not intended to service an entire city in the same way as a neighborhood or city park. Each should be created with the specific interests and needs of the contiguous community that is, the nearby individuals and families for whose use it was originally intended (Olmos, 2008).
