Pro:Having some sort of structure in your design is beneficial to the aesthetics of the pocket park.
Pro: Being in an eco-friendly environment. Having an abundant of trees and grass is not the only thing to officially label a park nature worthy. An addition of solar panels, windmills, and biofuels from waste can help make any park go green!
Con: Not having a sitting area not only for the parents who are watching their kids play but also somewhere to relax in a reasonable and adjustable place. Hence, not in much favor of benches.
