Parque de Paz
|A pocket park is a small park available to the public that is usually located on a vacant lot. The pocket park I am designing is located in Downtown Las Vegas near law firms on the corner of 6th Street and Garces Avenue. Because of its surrounding location, the park’s purpose is to provide a calm and relaxing place for the surrounding community. The park is to be accessible by the general public and be a welcoming place for the neighborhood. The pocket park will also include greenery and sitting areas to give the park a sense of peace.

It was a cool idea to give your park a name with Latin roots given the demographics, because that makes it relevant to the people that will visit most often. Your design is solid and comprehensive however I feel that your park gives off a rather dull vibe and plants with a pop of color and brightening the color of your park would add curb appeal and would make it noticeable and attention grabbing. Now I am NOT saying that I your color scheme should be child-like, but accents of deep colors and yet still earth like tones could potentially drive your design in an even more bold position yet still accomplish the tranquil environment that you established. Nice job!
