We understand you want to know if other parks departments have chosen our benches and how they’ve worked out. The answer is yes—and we’re happy to provide real references.
For example, the Parks and Recreation Department of Springfield, Missouri installed 120 of our heavy-duty aluminum benches along their riverfront trail. Their maintenance team reported a 40% reduction in annual repair costs compared to their previous wooden benches, and the benches still look nearly new after three full seasons of rain and snow.
Austin Parks Foundation in Texas uses our recycled-plastic slat benches in their downtown plazas. Their project manager told us: “We needed benches that could handle high foot traffic and constant sun exposure. These have been here for two years without fading or cracking, and we’ve only had to tighten a few bolts. That’s unheard of for public furniture.”
From the Denver Mountain Parks system, we received a firsthand account: “We bought 50 benches for our picnic areas at 7,000 feet elevation. The UV resistance and wind stability are excellent. We had a 60 mph gust last October—not one bench tipped over.”
For a larger-scale reference, the Los Angeles County Department of Parks and Recreation uses our benches in over 15 regional parks. Their procurement officer mentioned: “We did a three-year pilot comparing five vendors. Your benches had the lowest lifecycle cost per seat—partly because the warranty covered any weld issues and the powder coating held up better than competitors.”
If you’d like, I can put you in direct contact with these departments. They’ve agreed to serve as references for prospective municipal buyers. Just let me know your preferred communication method, and I’ll arrange a call or email introduction.
