These small pocket parks can be wonderful surprises to stumble upon and it is their sense of enclosure and security that is created by the surrounding buildings. One has to wonder why the garage wasn’t recognized and addressed. Perhaps the designer wasn’t able to work with the owner of the garage to create a solution. It would still be easy to design a screen, living or otherwise, that would give the visitors privacy and enhance the beauty of the park while making the garage disappear from sight and mind.
