Pocket Park
|-Though the demographic in this area is not exactly the sort to drive luxury cars and spend their days out on the golf course, the modification of this park will be a step forward towards creating a closer and cleaner community. With a place to come together and bond with fellow members of the community, a friendlier and more positive environment woul-d be created. Having a place to band together as a community will not only benefit the people who live in the area, but it will effectively create a better environment.
An important thing to keep in mind when improving an existing pocket park is identifying what the park needs. Things like shading structures, seating areas, planting, and playground equipment are just a few things in which play a vital role in having a thriving and successful park. It may even be necessary to have water fixtures such as water fountains, sinks, or even a misting fixture to keep the patrons of the park cool in the summer heat.
It is also good to keep in mind the reusable elements of the park when it comes to renovating it. In this case, there are no existing elements to really work with besides the few trees here and there. It may be a smarter idea to use astroturf rather than real grass in this project considering California, our neighboring state, is in a severe drought. Not to mention Las Vegas is not an ideal place for grass to thrive.
