Placemaking and Pocket Parks

Community Connections

Transforming Parking into Vibrant "Third Spaces"

The Challenge: Abbotsford Business Improvement Area (BIA) identified a demand for increased outdoor seating and "third spaces." Areas where the community could enjoy coffee or converse with friends and neighbours.

Our Solution: Collaborating with the Downtown Abbotsford Business Improvement Area, Hawkers brought a pocket park to life. Crafted from an upcycled shipping container, Hawkers installed and transformed a simple parking space on Montrose Avenue into a community hub.
