That's an excellent and important question! Absolutely, we do offer a wide range of ADA-compliant park bench models, and we commend you for prioritizing inclusivity in your public space design. The core principle of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) for benches is to provide seating that is accessible to individuals using wheelchairs or mobility devices, allowing them to participate fully in community life.
Our compliant models typically feature designs that include clear ground space for a wheelchair (usually 30" by 48" minimum) adjacent to the bench. This allows for easy side transfer or for a companion to sit alongside. We offer benches with and without armrests, as some users require them for support when sitting or standing. For models with armrests, we ensure they are designed to not obstruct transfer. Furthermore, we prioritize stable, firm seating surfaces and appropriate seat heights (usually between 17 to 19 inches from the ground) to facilitate ease of use.
Materials range from durable, low-maintenance recycled plastic and powder-coated steel to classic wood, all chosen for comfort and longevity. When planning your installation, remember to place benches on a stable, firm surface like concrete or compacted aggregate, and ensure the accessible route to the bench is also compliant. Creating a truly welcoming park means thinking about the entire experience, and choosing the right seating is a crucial step. We're here to help you select the perfect ADA-compliant benches that meet both regulatory guidelines and your aesthetic vision for a park everyone can enjoy.
