Kendall-Whittier Pocket Park

A small urban park on the main commercial strip with murals, native plantings, a community chess table, and enough shade to make it the neighborhood's unofficial living room. Neighbors stop to chat, kids run through on their way home from school, and the murals change seasonally as local artists rotate through. It's not big — it doesn't need to be. It just needs to be there, and it is.
