Summary

The surrounding community has no green space or an area to relax or hangout in. The site is around three roads along with law businesses behind the site. That is why a pocket park would be perfect because it is accessible from three different sides and also would be a good place for the law workers to relax and enjoy a meal or snack away from the heat because of the trees. The park can be used by not only the law business people, but also people at the Gold & Silver Pawn Shop which can attract more attention to the pocket park. Making the pocket park more usable and needed of the community.
