Abstract

Pocket parks are small in size and flexible in function. In the process of urbanization development in China, the number of pocket parks has gradually increased, but from the current point o f view, there are many problems in the construction of pocket parks in China . This study conducts a detailed investigation on the plants, sports facilities and roads of the pocket park by adopting the method of on-site investigation of the pocket park. It was found that pocket parks currently have problems such as functional limitations and insufficient ecological design. Therefore, a strategy is proposed to refine the infrastructure of pocket parks and enhance the interactivity of the landscape, so as to promote the high-quality development of pocket parks.
