Mobile chairs in parks pilot project

Mobile chairs in parks pilot project

We have launched a pilot project that introduces movable seating in select park locations. This initiative supports small gatherings and face-to-face connections – something not always possible with traditional park benches.

Why are we doing this?

At Parks & Open Spaces, we’re always looking for ways to create more welcoming, accessible, and inclusive public spaces. Based on input from community members, 311 requests, and observations from our Operations staff, we’ve identified a need for more flexible seating options in parks and green spaces.

Why it matters

  • Encourages social connection by making it easier for people to sit together.
  • Creates more inclusive spaces that reflect the needs of diverse park users.
  • Demonstrates our commitment to evolving park spaces to better serve the public.
  • Reduces clutter and improves safety by offering inviting, outdoor-rated, ready-to-use seating.
  • Together, we’re making parks even better places to gather, relax, and connect.

Movable chairs have been introduced to support small group gatherings. To help keep the park safe and accessible for all, we kindly ask that you do not bring personal furniture into this park in the future.

Chairs must remain in the park!
