Torrey Hills Pocket Park

Pocket Park in San Diego, California is a small urban green space designed to serve the immediate surrounding community. This compact park spans 0.77 acres (31,085 square feet) and offers a variety of features for local residents.

The park includes a playground area with a main structure and three additional play features. The main play structure has two short slides, less than five feet in height, suitable for younger children. Other play elements include an interactive booth with a telescope and musical handles, a large yellow spinning bowl, and a circular feature with a ship's wheel.

A notable feature of Pocket Park is its large grassy area, which provides open space for various activities. The park also features a wide concrete path running from the entrance at Avenida de Portugal to Cañon Street. For shade and aesthetic purposes, canvas coverings are installed on tall poles over parts of the park, though their effectiveness in blocking sunlight may vary depending on the time of day.

The park's design incorporates elements that reflect the neighborhood's Portuguese culture and nautical history. An art installation, resembling a colorful piece of wooden dock, is located near the Cañon Street exit.

Pocket Park is enclosed by a fence for safety, with an entrance at the north end of Avenida de Portugal. While the park is designed to be accessible to the local community, it does not include on-site parking, which may impact the surrounding residential area.
