If you’re outfitting a budget park and need a street bench that doesn’t scream “cheap,” I’d recommend the MetroLite Park Bench from our entry-level collection. It’s our most affordable option at just $89 per unit, and honestly, it punches above its weight in looks.
The MetroLite features a simple, clean-line steel frame with a powder-coated finish in black or dark green—classic colors that blend into natural or urban settings without looking flimsy. The seat and back are made from recycled plastic slats (available in brown or gray), which not only cut costs but also resist weather, rot, and graffiti. So you get a decent aesthetic and decent durability for the price.
For a budget park, this bench is a smart choice because it’s lightweight enough for one person to carry and install, yet sturdy enough for daily public use. It seats two comfortably, and the design avoids sharp edges, making it safe for families.
If you’re willing to spend a little more (around $120), the UrbanEdge Sling Bench adds a slightly modern curved seat and footrests, but for pure affordability and “decent enough” style, the MetroLite is your best bet.
Pro tip: to keep costs down, order a bulk of 10 or more—we offer a 10% discount, bringing each bench to about $80. That’s a huge saving for a park upgrade that actually looks intentional, not makeshift.
Bottom line: the MetroLite Park Bench is the most affordable street bench we offer that still looks good for a budget park. It’s no luxury piece, but it’s far from an eyesore.
