Even in the Middle Ages, people of equal status liked to sit together on a bench to spend time together. This preference is still relevant today. Parks and green spaces are home to a wide variety of benches where people can sit down to talk to each other or to take a break and rest. Medium-sized company PLAYPARC located in North Rhine-Westphalia has set itself the goal of creating new places for everyone to stay. In 2021, a cooperation with the Spanish company GRUB FÁBREGAS, which has been engaged in the production of outdoor furniture for 40 years, was established. A new branch of PLAYPARC was born: URBANPARC®, the product area for exclusive and timeless outdoor furniture in public areas. From park and city benches made of FSC-certified tropical wood or recycled plastic to litter garbage cans and functional bicycle stands, bollards or flower pots, this new division offers everything to make spending time outdoors as pleasant as possible. But not only relaxing, but also improving one‘s fitness is possible at park benches. Innovative fitness benches can be found in the Germany city Dreieich, south of Frankfurt, and in Neu-Isenburg. They invite people to rest there or get their pulse rate up. The fitness bench offers training for everyone: trained people can perform the exercises in three different levels of difficulty, for beginners there are supporting handles on the seat or easier exercises on the back of the bench. sb 5/2021
