Pocket parks have the characteristics of being small in size, low in expenditure, easy to access and flexible in shapes and location. Several studies have explored the environmental and social benefits as well as the design principles of pocket parks. However, a meta-analysis of research on pocket park is lacking. There is also no previous comparison of Chinese and English language research papers on pocket parks. This paper aims to systematically review 32 key English publications and 33 key Chinese publications from 4 databases (i.e. Google Scholar, Web of Science, CNKI, Wanfang Data). The results show that the definition of pocket park is only different in size when comparing English and Chinese papers. Moreover, the review highlighted the needs of exploring pocket parks in the areas of Latin America, Africa and Southeast Asia. The summary of research topics and trends provides a useful knowledge for future studies on pocket parks.

袖珍公园的特点是体积小，费用低，易于使用且形状和位置灵活。多项研究探索了环境和社会效益以及小型公园的设计原则。然而，缺乏对口袋公园研究的荟萃分析。袖珍公园上也没有以前的中文和英文研究论文的比较。本文旨在从4个数据库（即Google Scholar，Web of Science，CNKI，Wanfang Data）中系统地审查32种主要的英文出版物和33种主要的中文出版物。结果表明，在比较中，英文论文时，口袋公园的定义只是大小不同。此外，审查强调了在拉丁美洲，非洲和东南亚地区探索袖珍公园的需求。
