pocket park
|I believe the purpose of a park is to unite a community as well as to make them be active. I want to create a pocket park that will be a place where the community will find safety and comfort, and be able to get out and move. One of the goals that I hope to accomplish is to be able to create a safe environment for kids. Smaller kids often times don't get to go out this pocket park would be an ideal place for the neighborhood kids to go out and play. Since its close parents would be more willing to allow their kids to go out and play there. Knowing that there will probably always be someone there would help parents feel comfortable letting their kids go out and play. Another issue that neighborhoods have is the lack of communication between neighbors. Now a days people don't really know their neighbors, I myself only know one person within my community. Pocket parks will be a place where people from the community will interact. One idea I had about that was having circular benches so that the parents could sit and talk while their kids played,. I was thinking of incorporating a wall that would serve for people who like to spray paint. Spray-painting is becoming a popular activity being able to do this would help reduce the amount of garages that get spray painted. Every time I go to a park I always see younger kids I would like to have a really small parkour area for older kids where they learn basic tricks and exercise. There could be bars hanging from different heights and several small walls spread out.
