Summary

When selecting a site it was really important to consider collecting information about Las Vegas and its down town area. Also it was important to consider looking at other famous and well known pocket parks of the world to really see what is needed within such parks. For me I spent numerous days looking up famous parks with in New York and other large cities. Also I looked at one of my local parks to see what items were placed in it too see what items are needed in pocket parks in Las Vegas. I decided to select a region in Down Town Las Vegas that not only has high public traffic in its area but is also lacking such parks. This location is on the intersection of 6th and Garces Ave. in down town Las Vegas.
