We collaborated with landscape architect (Dylan Chernoff @ DKL Durante Kreuk), on this new design. He liked the angles of our Rutherford picnic table and the finished clean look of the ends our Bayside Park Bench yet felt that neither design would be strong enough for the high use and high impact application it was intended for. We considered various options. In areas where the products were going to be installed, there was high likelihood that they would be “grinded” by the local skateboard community. It is for this reason the built-in skate blocks play a large part in this design. They help to protect the product while not compromising comfort.
