Summary

Part of collecting information is research. As a part of collecting info, I have examined pocket parks both inside of Nevada and in other areas. Some of these include the pocket park in Las Vegas City Center, and Paley Park, located in New York City. These parks have provided me with inspiration for my own unique designs, proving that it is possible to turn a small area that was previously thought to be unusable into an area loved by its residents.Another part of this step is finding images of the intended site, which is approximately 140 x 100 sq ft, or 14000 sq ft.

Did you know that you can Request a new bike rack in your area? Cities all over the U.S. have multiple types of bike racks they can install and all you have to do is submit a request.
