New Pocket Park
Summary
When collecting information I viewed the location were the pocket park would probably be placed. Doing so allowed me to figure out, the sort of presence i want the pocket park to give to the community. I found a lot of information that allowed me to learn what was the main source of transportation, which gender had a higher percentage, and the ages of people who live in this area. This information helped me decide what would be some good components to place in the pocket park. When looking at the site I also learned of were the sun rises and sets to decide in which locations i should place the overall components of the pocket park.
