Pocket parks are fregA,mlly created on a single vacant lot or on small, irregular pieces of land. Pocket parks can be urban, suburban or rural, and can be on public or private land. Although they are too small for physical activities, pocket parks provide greenery, a place to sit outdoors, and sometimes a children's playground. They may be created around a monument, historic marker or art pro jest. 11 urbanized areas, particularly business districts where land is very expensive, pocket parks are often the only option for creating new public spaces without large -scale redevelopment. The potential to create a packet park in a small triangle of land in i'mut at the Habie Sports building was identified in the CdM Vision Plan. It is an opportunity to create a pedestrian resting place and enhance the walking experience in Corona del Mar. It is also the opportunity to create A demonstration garden to illustrate how California or water friendly plants can be used to create aesthetically pleasing gardens and landscapes that conserve wAlen It is also an opportunity to create a more visually appealing public space in front of Rse eves changing moral wall of Habie Sports which has becnrne an iconic image of Corona del Mar.
