Thank you for your important question regarding safety features in our park benches. We understand communities want public spaces that are both welcoming and secure for all visitors.
Our benches are primarily designed for comfortable public seating, though some municipalities specifically request anti-sleeping features for certain locations. These design elements - sometimes called "hostile architecture" - can include subtle center armrests, gentle dividers, or slightly angled surfaces that discourage prolonged lying while maintaining normal seating comfort.
We approach such features thoughtfully, recognizing they serve specific safety purposes in areas where extended horizontal sleeping might create hazards or block accessibility. However, we equally prioritize creating inclusive public spaces and offer various bench designs to meet different community needs.
We'd be happy to discuss your specific safety concerns and recommend appropriate seating solutions that balance comfort, accessibility, and your community's unique requirements. Our catalog includes both traditional benches and models with discrete safety features - all designed for durability and public enjoyment.
