Yes, absolutely. Our park benches are specifically designed to be accessible and welcoming for individuals using wheelchairs. We prioritize inclusive design to ensure everyone can enjoy public spaces comfortably and with dignity.
A key feature is the incorporation of accessible seating spaces within our bench configurations. Many of our benches are installed with a clear ground space adjacent to them, or are designed as part of a cluster that includes an open area for a wheelchair to position comfortably at the same conversational height and level as the bench seating. This allows friends and family to sit together without separation.
Our designs adhere to the principles of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and universal design. This includes careful attention to the height of the bench seat, the clearance space beneath it, and the firmness and stability of the seating surface to facilitate potential transfers. We select materials and construction that are robust and allow for easy approach on a variety of surfaces.
We believe that true accessibility goes beyond mere compliance. It's about fostering social inclusion and ensuring equitable use of our community parks. By thoughtfully designing and positioning our benches, we create resting points that are functional for people of all abilities. Our commitment is to build public furniture that doesn't just accommodate, but actively invites everyone to sit, relax, and connect with their environment and each other.
