This article discusses the spatial typology of small-scale urban public spaces known as pocket parks, based on the experience of building the “Praça de Bolso do Ciclista” or PBC (cyclist’s pocket square), a space designed by a group of cyclists from Curitiba, Paraná, Brazil. This is a qualitative case study whose methodological tools include documents from distinct sources, observations, photographs and semi-structured interviews. Data were gathered, systematised and triangulated. The PBC was the result of a partnership between government and citizens, who built the square out of collective efforts on weekends. Based on community action, a small space was built to promote bicycle culture and increase its use. Furthermore, significant urban and political issues were also raised, especially community political action, humanization and democratization of the city after the action in its areas.
