Thank you for your important question about public bench safety. We completely understand your concern, and we want to assure you that our primary goal is to create public spaces that are safe, welcoming, and accessible for everyone to enjoy.
Our benches are thoughtfully designed with community well-being in mind. To address safety and longevity, many of our models incorporate subtle design features. For instance, armrests or dividers are often included. These elements are not intended to be punitive. Instead, they serve multiple purposes: they provide support for elderly individuals or those with mobility issues when sitting down or standing up, and they naturally discourage lying down, which helps ensure the bench is available for its intended use—sitting and resting.
Regarding skateboarding, we use durable materials and construction methods to withstand everyday use. Some of our benches may have built-in skate deterrents, such as small, subtle metal nubs on the seating ledges. These are designed to protect the bench from grinding damage, which can quickly destroy the surface, create sharp edges, and become a safety hazard for other park users. This proactive approach reduces maintenance costs and keeps our public furniture in good condition for longer.
Ultimately, our design philosophy centers on creating comfortable, sturdy, and inclusive seating that enhances public parks for all visitors. We aim to foster an environment where families, friends, and individuals can relax and socialize safely. We appreciate you raising this concern, as it allows us to highlight our commitment to thoughtful and responsible urban design.
