Local parks improve the quality of life for the communities in which they are situated, providing a place to take a break, get some exercise or visit with friends. Effective park design helps create spaces where residents and visitors can do all of these things, providing places to stop and rest, to chat with a friend, or to get active on trails and playgrounds.
When you’re designing your space, you can find a broad and diverse selection of standard furnishings straight from the catalog of your favorite manufacturer, from benches and picnic tables to waste receptacles, bike racks, bollards and more. But what if you’d like something a little different?
Something Special
The vast array of standard site furnishings available in numerous colors, styles and materials mean you can easily get creative and make your park stand out as a unique, attractive and comfortable space. But when you’ve got something in mind that’s not available off-the-shelf, you can rely on your manufacturer’s custom capabilities to create something truly unique.
Custom design and fabrication can help meet your unique needs, whether it’s a bench that gracefully curves along a garden’s edge, seating designed to fit the top of a concrete barrier or a bike rack with your park district’s logo incorporated. You simply need to bring your ideas to the table, and your manufacturer will work with you to make your vision a reality.
Put a Name on It
In addition to customized furnishings designed specifically to suit your site, you can also make your mark—literally—by incorporating custom etched zinc plaques into the design of some furnishings. You can choose to place something as simple as your park or city’s logo on all of your benches, or you can provide local residents and supporters with the opportunity to sponsor specific benches, with a plaque that recognizes the sponsor. Many local residents will enjoy the opportunity to commemorate a family member’s favorite walking path or viewing spot with a bench dedicated in their name.
To incorporate custom plaques into your park furnishings, you’ll simply need to supply your manufacturer with text and camera-ready artwork. They’ll design a custom plaque that conveys your park’s message while complementing your furnishings.
