All Pocket Parks depend upon community involvement. It is essential that the following questions be asked and answered before any new Pocket Park can be established.
- Has reasonable effort been made to inform all local residents and stakeholders of the creation of a Pocket Park? Objections heard and opportunity for people to register their support?
- Is the pool of volunteers large enough to provide a committee and to help with the practical aspects of management?
- Are there signs of long-term commitment or is it mainly short-term enthusiasm and fervour?
- Is there a suitable site in the neighbourhood?
- Is the site in a suitable location for its intended use?
- Would the site be easily accessible to all members of the community?
- Who currently owns the site and will the owner sell or lease the land?
- Does it have any wildlife, heritage or landscape value?
- Who can the group approach for financial support?
