Site Furnishing Plans For American Families

The National Recreation and Park Association conducted a recent study to see just how much use city parks are getting in this day and age. They found that on average, people visit their parks at least twice a month, but as many as 1 in 10 visit their local parks on a daily basis. Of course, this portion of the population regularly visiting parks includes all generations and all walks of life. After all, for every child playing on the swing or going down the slide, there’s a parent, grandparent, or guardian keeping watch nearby.

As a valuable part of American family life, our city parks deserve attention and intentionality, but creating a site furnishing plan to meet the needs of American families does not have to be complicated. To create a functional site furnishing plan, consider a few questions about your visitors. What activities will these visitors need to fulfill, sitting, standing, and playing for instance? (In most cases, visitors will need some form of seating. This is why park benches are considered among the most important of the site furnishings your plan will include.) How will visitors engage with each other, and what proximity is required for their engagements? What are the weather conditions the site furnishings will sustain? Concrete park benches for instance are well suited for outdoor settings where they’re exposed to all weather conditions.

Where should concrete style park benches and other park benches be installed?
