Middle Line Park
Summary
For the most part, most information I collected was visual. I spent time looking at previous pocket parks, and looked at parks known to be very good and parks known to be very bad, and looked at them and their area to learn why. I paid attention to the area the park was in, what kind of people are in that area, and what the park offers to those people. Another important thing I looked at is the number of parks in that area already.

Did you know that you can Request a new bike rack in your area? Cities all over the U.S. have multiple types of bike racks they can install and all you have to do is submit a request.
