What is a Pocket Park?

A pocket park is a small, public green space—often no larger than a single vacant lot—designed to provide recreation, relaxation, and social interaction in urban or suburban settings. These parks are typically integrated into neighborhoods, downtown areas, or underutilized spaces, offering features like benches, landscaping, shade, public art, or minimal play structures.

How can I get involved?
