Pocket Parks

Design briefs for larger residential developments increasingly require pocket parks as key spaces in an integrated high-quality public realm. Pocket parks are particularly relevant in denser residential schemes where private gardens do not feature as they provide inclusive public space that is unambiguously available to everyone. When designed successfully, the space becomes a communal garden that residents can take ownership of and the wider public can enjoy.

As a result of our experience in designing such spaces, LiZLaKe has developed a tried and tested set of criteria for the successful creation of pocket parks and our schemes have won a number of national design awards.
