At our parks, we prioritize accessibility and inclusive design. Many of our park benches feature sturdy armrests specifically designed to assist visitors with sitting down and standing up more comfortably. These supportive armrests provide crucial leverage points that make our seating accessible to seniors, individuals with mobility challenges, and anyone who appreciates extra support when transitioning between positions.
Our accessible benches with armrests are strategically placed throughout the park network, particularly along frequently used pathways, near restrooms, and in gathering areas. The armrests are crafted from durable, weather-resistant materials and positioned at an optimal height to maximize support while maintaining comfort.
Beyond armrests, we've incorporated other accessibility features including appropriate clearance beneath benches for wheelchair transfers and non-slip surfaces. We continuously work with accessibility experts and community members to ensure our park furniture meets diverse needs, creating welcoming outdoor spaces where everyone can relax and enjoy nature comfortably.
If you're planning a park visit and have specific accessibility requirements, please contact our visitor services team who can provide detailed information about bench locations and other accessibility features available throughout our parks.
