Pocket Park
05/11/15
This is the site where the park is going to be in. The park is located near to highly populated stores such as the Gold and Silver Pawn Shop. There are many offices in the area allowing stressed out workers to take a walk in the park while taking a break. The park provides good health benefits for people who sit in the office the whole time. Parents can take of their business in the office while letting children play in the park not too far away. The trees are going to be put around the park to diminish the sound from the incoming traffic. Trees can also be used as screening and provide shade for seating areas.
