A place to sit

Benches are important elements for any outdoor gathering space and school
playgrounds are no exception. Kids enjoy having a place to sit and chat, and so
do the adults when they visit the playground at the end of the school day.

Bank Inzicht is a dutch website with a wonderful collection of images of outdoor
public benches. The following photo's are examples which would work well in a
school setting. They are all made with reclaimed materials. Bricks and concrete
pavers are ubiquitous in Holland and are readily available for free or at very little
cost. I don't think that's the case here, but we may be able to think of different
materials which we could use in the same way.






 
Ofcourse we do have trees here.



It doesn't get any simpler than this!
