I’d just like to also point out that pretending this is designed to be accessible is a joke when 90+% of the population doesn’t use mobility devices at all and thus this bench supposedly caters to an intensely small subset of the population who doesn’t need it or want it (I’ve never heard wheelchair folks ask for benches; they ask for ramps..), and it functions less well for everyone else as a result. Need to care for a child on the park bench? Too fucking bad.

The epitome of “the cruelty is the point”.
