Park bench
A park bench isn’t just for parks. It is an essential component of any public outdoor (or indoor) area. The 3 material I chosen ( wood concrete steel)
These park benches provide strength and durability with a strong steel skeleton and high quality UV and weather resistant thermoplastic coating. One of the most popular bench styles, the thermoplastic coated steel park bench comes in a range of styles and colors. The thermoplastic coating protects the steel for years to come, and is maintenance and corrosive free. Made for the widest range of applications, these benches can be portable as well and permanent installs.
Commercial park benches made with wood are always a top seller. Made usually of cedar, or pine, wood park benches offer strength and durability, reinforced with a welded metal frame construction for a long life. Wood is the popular choice also for its classic styling. When people think park bench, they will more than likely visualize a wood slat park bench with back and arms in an unfinished cedar nestled in a shady spot under an oak tree. This is obviously a great solution for a park, or outside of a mall but I would not recommend it for any city transit area. Other materials, like powder coated steel are better performers for high traffic.
Concrete Park Benches are an inexpensive solution to a high traffic area. Dense and strong, anything concrete will last a long time and is ideal for parks, schools, bus stops, corporate break areas and rest stops, and other various street

    • Parents (Young Children): Parents would be a type of customer that the park would have to consider, not because of the parents, but more so the young children that they would of taken to the park. Their expectations would range from rides and other forms of entertainment that would be suitable for their children, as well as accessible changing facilities for very young children. They may also need a child orientated restraint for the children to eat out, and not a restraint that is more geared towards adults.

    The City of Kelsey’s founder, M. Kelsey’s vision was to “preserve the natural resources of the land and maintain a close-knit community” (Apollo Group, 2011). The elected and appointed officials who have followed consistently meet the needs of the community by continuing to build upon foundation that the city was built – self-sufficiency and a strong sense of community (Apollo Group, 2011). The city has seen a significant increase in population over the past few years and expects this trend to continue into the foreseeable future. As the City of Kelsey grows, businesses and industries will also continue to progress and particular care must be taken to preserve the natural resources and the tradition of the city while balancing between the city’s overall growth and preservation needs (Apollo Group, 2011). The city government sees the immediate need in parks and recreation. Over the past two years, the city has invested millions of dollars in the Parks and Recreation Department in continuous improvements. The Stanley Park Project will offer state of the art park and recreation amenities that will meet the needs of all residents; from parents walking through the park with infants in strollers, teenagers skateboarding on the skate ramp, senior citizens learning computer skills in the computer learning center, to dogs using the enclosed dog park.

The wood chair is an oversized lounge chair made of bent natural beech heartwood. The chair looks simple yet complex. The chair is bent to form a 'double curve' or 'alpha shapes’ making it look really complex and intricate.

    Concrete

    Concrete is used in the majority of buildings, bridges, tunnels and dams for its strength. It gains strength over time, and is not weakened by moisture, mold or pests. Concrete structures can also withstand natural disasters such as earthquakes and hurricanes. Roman buildings over 1,500 years old such as the Colosseum are living examples of the strength and durability of concrete. In the result of concrete being motionless, compressed, and non-porous, it does not attract mold or lose its key properties over time. Concrete compared to other building materials is extremely durable, yet remains affordable.…

    Between 1821 and 1855, New York City nearly quadrupled in population. As the city expanded, people were drawn to the few open spaces, mainly cemeteries, to get away from the noise and chaotic life in the city. Before long, however, New York City's need for a great public park was voiced by the poet and editor of the then-Evening Post (now the New York Post), William Cullen Bryant, and by the first American landscape architect, Andrew Jackson Downing, who began to publicize the city's need for a public park in 1844. A stylish place for open-air driving, like the Bois de Boulogne in Paris or London's Hyde Park, was felt to be needed by many influential New Yorkers, and in 1853 the New York legislature designated a 700-acre (280 ha) area from 59th to 106th Streets for the creation of the park, to a cost of more than US $5 million for the land alone. The park is the largest on Manhattan Island.…
