Pocket of Sunshine
Summary
First, I researched what a pocket park really is so I can have an idea about what exactly am I designing. After researching what elements is appropriate for a small park, I then started looking at some photos of real pocket parks. I looked for pocket parks in Las Vegas, and not only Vegas. I also looked at many different parks around the world. All of the pocket parks I found gave me a lot of ideas and inspirations. After having some ideas, I started looking at the area where the pocket park will be located in Vegas. I also looked around the area to see what is near the park. Before I started designing, I wrote down all of the things I wanted to include in the park so I can better design the park.
The location of the park is surrounded by residential building,and most of these families has kids and older people. This park is good in this location because the majority people who goes to park are children and senior citizens.
