Pocket Park
|There is benefits to building a pocket park some are like meeting or to know your neighbors . It could also be a place for people to come outdoors and relax enjoy the neighborhood. As well it can have a little area for kids for the could have fun and a place for parents to socialize with one another. Having a pocket park in a neighborhood is good because people who have to travel far to go to a park wont have to anymore. Having a pocket park in a neighborhood that doesn't have a park close by this will benefit the community. I've seen some places that have an empty lot and sometimes i wonder why haven't they made that lot useful for example a pocket park.

This looks like a fun park with lots of equipment for kids. But I think it needs more design - geometry or form rather than just a rectangle with standard pieces of equipment. Think how the landscape might be something to play on - little mini hills, trees, pavilions, water, rocks, etc.
Thanks for your work collecting strong inspirational images. The diversity of details in these images is a great place to jumpstart your design thinking. While your final design clearly serves the needs of an active K-6 community, it feels like it is just off the shelf playground equipment. I would encourage you to consider how the location, user group (community), and climate context of the park can influence design to make it more responsive and enjoyable for your user group. For example, could you incorporate art from neighborhood children into aspects of your design. Are there plants and trees that are low maintenance and shade producing that thrive in the same area as your park? Keep exploring design - it is a rich and every changing field of study.
