Public Spaces

The objective here is to go to any public space and give an analysis of the surroundings or area. I decided to go ahead and analyze Bouquet Canyon Park located in Saugus, California. I chose this public area because it suits the eye and offers a feeling of relaxation as you enter the park. To start off my analysis of this park I wanted to make sure that the essentials to a public space were up to quota. When you first enter the park the entire premises is available visually in one shot. Being aware of your surroundings is important when choosing to spend your time in a particular area. The next thing I noticed was that there was more than enough shade covering the park. Having a place that is air- circulated and clean can affect your choice when visiting a public space. Included in the essentials of the park was a fair amount of parking, accessible, clean walk ways to navigate to the play areas, plenty of trash cans to throw away garbage, some water fountains, and lastly restrooms that are visible and close to the play areas. In ordinance to activities and the purpose of taking part in this public space; there is a recreational play area for children, there is a baseball field playng area, the is a space to play soccer, there are tennis courts, and enough area for picnicing. I did not choose this space because it is a big booming place of attraction. This place is a place to be together, whether it be with your friends or with your family. I conclude this short analysis with the improvement ideas. I think there could be a little more parking, there needs to be a changing table to accomidate people with infants in the restroom, there needs to be more drinking fountains to hydrate, and lastly there is no security watching the premises on a regular basis.
