Summary

When collecting information about the site, as well as pocket parks in general, it was monumental not only to visit site in person, but to survey the area around the site to make a conclusion in regards to the park’s purpose. The site itself, which is located in the heart of downtown Las Vegas, takes place in the City of Las Vegas’ Centennial Plan. Through using the city guidelines laid out in the Centennial Plan booklet itself, the design framework can be put in place to create a comprehensive design that is able to both serve the community and fit into the revitalization that the area will take place in the coming years.
