A pocket park or mini-park is a small area accessible to the general public that is often of primarily environmental, rather than recreational, importance. They can be urban, suburban or rural and often feature as part of urban regeneration plans in inner-city areas to provide areas where wild life can establish a foothold.

In some areas they are called miniparks or vestpocket parks.
