Our Community Pocket Park is a practice-based research project exploring the idea of the “15-Minute Park,” a growing urban park concept in Thailand that promotes accessible green spaces within local neighborhoods. Rather than focusing on city-scale planning, the project looks at how community parks can better support the people who use them every day.

Through field research, the project identified Baan Krua Community Park as a space actively used by local children. This led to participatory workshops where children shared their experiences and ideas for the park through creative activities and spatial interventions.

The project highlights the importance of community participation in shaping meaningful public green spaces and serves as a case study for future community-led urban park development.
