Yes, absolutely. All our park benches are meticulously designed to meet and exceed all necessary ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) requirements. We understand that creating inclusive public spaces is not just a legal obligation but a moral one.
Our benches feature appropriate clear floor space for wheelchair users, with a minimum of 30 by 48 inches of clear ground space positioned for either parallel or perpendicular approach. The seating height is carefully calibrated between 17 to 19 inches from the ground to the top of the bench seat, ensuring comfortable and safe transfers for individuals using mobility devices.
We incorporate firm, stable seating surfaces that provide adequate support and are slip-resistant. The armrests, when included, are designed with proper height and positioning to assist with sitting and standing while maintaining necessary clearance. For benches installed at tables, we ensure the required knee clearance of at least 27 inches high, 30 inches wide, and 19 inches deep.
Beyond mere compliance, we focus on universal design principles that benefit all park visitors, including seniors, pregnant women, and people with temporary injuries. Our commitment extends to proper installation and spacing between benches to ensure unobstructed pathways of at least 36 inches wide for continuous accessible routes.
Regular testing and certification processes guarantee that our benches not only meet current ADA standards but anticipate future accessibility needs. We believe that truly accessible public furniture creates communities where everyone can rest, socialize, and enjoy outdoor spaces with dignity and comfort.
