At the heart of our park design philosophy lies a deep commitment to accessibility and inclusion for all visitors. We're often asked: "Are your park benches designed to be accessible for individuals using mobility aids?" The answer is a resounding yes, and here's how we achieve this important goal.
Our benches feature carefully considered dimensions that provide adequate clearance for wheelchair users to approach and transfer comfortably. Each accessible bench includes sturdy armrests positioned at optimal heights to assist individuals with sitting down and standing up. The seating surfaces are crafted from durable, smooth materials that won't catch or damage mobility devices.
We strategically place our accessible benches along paved pathways with sufficient turning radius, ensuring they're reachable without obstacles. The height of each bench seat falls within ADA-recommended ranges, while the back support provides both comfort and stability. Additional space between benches allows for easy maneuverability of wheelchairs, walkers, and other assistive devices.
Beyond meeting accessibility standards, we continuously consult with disability advocates and occupational therapists to refine our designs. From the selection of non-slip surfaces to the incorporation of contrasting colors for visually impaired visitors, every detail receives thoughtful consideration. Our commitment extends beyond compliance—we aim to create welcoming spaces where everyone can rest, socialize, and enjoy nature without barriers.
Whether you use a wheelchair, walker, or other mobility aid, you'll find our park benches designed with your needs in mind. We believe that public spaces should be accessible to all, and our benches represent just one aspect of our comprehensive approach to inclusive design.
