Summary

Throughout the process of obtaining information, I first looked at various examples of pockets of various sizes, whether it be a pocket park or a complete park. While looking at these parks I've considered features of said parks and chose what I found beneficial and what features that could use a new fresh approach to implementing into a park. Afterwards I continued by collecting info regarding the actual site I would be using. With such information such as demographics and common uses of transportation, I will decide on what features I wish to include in my final design.
