Spring Meadows Park
|For my pocket park, I want to create a place where residents can go to relax. I may include a playground for children; however, I really want to give the park a quiet, relaxing vibe where people are able to get away from their busy lives.

I think you found an impressive spread of ideas and opportunities in your collect info phase. I would have loved to see those kinds of ideas worked into your final design!

Great job and keep up the good work!
