At our parks department, we maintain a clear and efficient policy for replacing components of our public park benches, including individual slats. We understand that regular wear and tear, weather exposure, and occasional vandalism can damage bench components over time. When damage is reported through our maintenance request system or identified during routine inspections, our team responds promptly to assess the situation. For minor issues affecting single slats, we typically perform spot replacements using manufacturer-matched materials to maintain consistency in appearance and structural integrity. We maintain an inventory of replacement slats in various materials including durable hardwood, recycled plastic, and powder-coated metal to match your community's specific bench types. All replacement work follows safety standards and is completed by trained maintenance staff within 5-7 business days of identification for standard cases. For historic or custom-designed benches, replacement may require specialized fabrication extending the timeline slightly. There is no direct cost to community members for these repairs as they're covered through our annual maintenance budget. We encourage park visitors to report damaged bench components through our online portal or by contacting parks department directly, helping us maintain safe and inviting public spaces for everyone to enjoy.
