Decisions

The picture below shows the lovely sycamore at the brow of the hill which, in the spring, blooms with crocuses.

We are considering putting some seating around the tree and were wondering whether we should go for something informal and rustic like the four designs shown below?

Or should we instead choose a more formal bench like the circular one?



The rustic design:

• offers some play experience as well as seating
• matches the look and feel of the other proposed play items
• is modular so, theoretically, it can be added to at a later date, should funds allow.

The circular design:

• makes a focal point
• has back support and is more comfortable
• might be problematic for council maintenance (although could be planted)

Additionally, we decided to replace the proposed swing nest with a pendulum swing which can be used by small children and doesn't require lots of children in order for it to be fun (which was our concern with the swing nest).

Doesn't it look great?!

We would love to hear your views at our meeting Thursday 9th October the Goth, Prestonpans.
