The New Age
|Pocket Parks are the new shebang in our modernizing societies. They can be brought up quick and easy within some of the smallest of lots. Pocket Parks are developing in great numbers across the masses within many urban societies. The ideology behind Pocket Parks is to transform a barren landscape into one full of communal activity and togetherness. The potential for Pocket Parks to have an impact on society is immense. With a minimal amount of landscape an individual may revamp an empty lot into a serene and welcoming environment. Pocket Parks encourage community fellowships and promote individual transcendence towards a better lifestyle.

Comments
I really enjoy your park and the idea of having a center area. You did such rich vivid research, that I wish was a little more incorporated into your final design. It's much easier said than done, but I would encourage you to build up and don't be afraid to think outside the box! Great job.
