While looking at the demographics of the 89101 community, I discovered the large amount of families and kids in the area. The increased number of children made me realize that the majority of the public visiting my park might just be kids. In order for my park to have a major effect on the community I need to have a large focus on how kids might, potentially, use my pocket park.

It is great that you have an understanding of who may be near your park. It is important to know how the park will be designed based on the community surrounding it.
