Pocket Park Design - 6th Street Park
|My pocket park design is to be located at the intersection of S 6th Street and Garces Avenue in Las Vegas, Nevada.The park I am designing is going to be created with the purpose to provide a relaxing environment for the tenants of the immediate area, which are more often than not those who work in law firms, or students from the nearby Las Vegas Academy of the Arts. My design will block off immediate view from the outside of the park with vegetation to try and provide a nice sense of isolation and shade from an individuals usual, busy lives. It will be a place to sit, relax, chat with friends and coworkers, or simply forget about your worries, if not for a moment.
