In the tiny footprint of a corner lot, designers were asked to shoehorn in a dog park, some seating space and a play area for older children.

A ladder-like set of slings hangs through all levels. Lee & Associates used the lateral Wallholla as a structural boundary to separate the pocket park’s two main areas.
