Urban green spaces are essential for healthy cities: they improve air quality, regulate temperature, provide habitat for pollinators and birds, and offer vital mental health benefits to residents. Many Athens neighborhoods lack accessible green spaces.

‘Pocket Parks’ creates small, beautiful, and highly accessible parks in unexpected places: underused corners, abandoned lots, overlooked public areas. These modest-sized parks deliver outsized benefits: they become community gathering points, neighborhood focal points, places of respite and connection.

Pocket Parks combine thoughtful design with native plantings, seating, and community stewardship to create living, breathing spaces that reflect neighborhood character and values.
