Pocket plazas offer moments of pause within the city—places to step away from the surrounding energy while remaining connected to it. Designed for lunch breaks, informal gatherings, and quiet reflection, the most successful pocket parks strike a thoughtful balance between calm refuge and active social space.

At 115 Boston Street, the pocket plaza is carefully integrated into a mixed-use building that includes a ground-floor CrossFit gym with residential uses above. The landscape design responds to this dynamic context by providing flexible seating and open space that accommodates both active users and those seeking a more tranquil experience.

The plaza also functions as a neighborhood connector, inviting the broader community to pass through the site as a safe, welcoming shortcut between the Boston Street neighborhood and the South Bay developments. In doing so, the space becomes more than an amenity for the building—it serves as a shared civic resource that enhances walkability, connectivity, and everyday life in the surrounding neighborhood.
