Pocket Park: Recent activity

I think the Desert Willow is a wonderful idea for a park. It's color will be more inviting to people and it can withstand the Vegas heat.

Very appealing,intricate design with a great use of green space, could have more drinking fountains though

Excellent choice of tree selections. Las Vegas's weather makes it difficult for plants to survive long enough. However, some trees can be effective in desert and dry areas.

Very creative design of the curved shaped roofs. It gives a very different feeling to the picnic areas..

Curved walkways are great for people to meander through slowly with vegetation in between. The seating along vegetation is a good way to grab interest in people.

I am glad you have found a solution to reduce water use by using a drip irrigation system.

Good points! Biophilia does increase productivity and helps lower stress and anxiety due to everyday business and environments we deal with. Trees help with the micro-climate of your site by providing shade to areas where there is too much sun. Although deciduous trees do help provide shade and block views, they are not so beneficial in blocking wind. If you would like to block or minimize wind, use coniferous trees such as evergreens.
