it seems that there is a lot of local politics involved in making an area a pocket park, regarding e.g. funding (http://www.pocketparks.com/establish/funding.asp) at least in the UK, wouldn't it not hurt to have some of that documented here? 89.150.142.174 04:05, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] "environmental, rather than recreational"
"often of primarily environmental, rather than recreational, importance". Often enough to be worth saying? Maybe it depends on what is meant by recreational. They are generally too small for athletic activity, but "environmental" suggests passive viewing and wildlife. New York's Paley Park, which I would have considered the classic pocket park (it is on the land that was formerly the Stork Club) is mainly a place people sit outdoors and have snacks or lunch; ditto Seattle's Waterfall Garden Park (no article, but commons:Image:Seattle_Waterfall_Garden_03.jpg here's a picture. - Jmabel | Talk 00:10, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
