Parklet 2 - with Planters & Wooden Base

An Accessible Parklet Platform for On-Street Use

Parklet 2 – With Planters & Wooden Base is a practical parklet uk solution designed specifically for carriageway and kerbside locations. Its raised timber base creates a level surface above the road, allowing the parklet to sit comfortably alongside parking bays while providing a safe, clearly defined space for public use.

This configuration is particularly suitable for:

• High streets and town centres
  
• On-street parking bay conversions
  
• Retail and hospitality frontages
  
• Community-led street improvement schemes
  
• Temporary or permanent placemaking projects

The structure supports safer interaction between pedestrians and traffic by establishing a protected, visible platform.

Wooden Base Parklet Designed for Safety and Inclusion

The defining feature of this model is its full parklet platform, formed by timber base sections and integrated ramps. This approach ensures the parklet remains level on uneven road surfaces while allowing step-free access for all users.

Accessibility features include:

• Raised timber base to align with pavement height
  
• Multiple ramp sections for inclusive access
  
• Clear edge definition to improve pedestrian awareness
  
• Stable surface suitable for frequent public use

This makes the parklet appropriate for environments where accessibility and safety are key design considerations.

Parklet with Planters for Greener Streets

As a parklet with planters, this design introduces substantial planting into hard urban landscapes. The planters help define the parklet boundary, soften the street edge and create a more welcoming atmosphere for pedestrians and nearby businesses.

Benefits of integrated planters include:

• Visual separation from live traffic lanes
  
• Opportunities for seasonal or low-maintenance planting
  
• Enhanced streetscape character and sense of place
  
• Improved comfort and perceived safety for users

The planting elements play both a functional and aesthetic role within the overall layout.

Modular Parklet Design for Flexible Deployment

Parklet 2 forms part of Broxap’s modular parklet range, allowing it to be deployed as a standalone installation or combined with other parklet and street furniture elements. The modular format supports adaptability over time, whether for pilot schemes or permanent upgrades.

Key modular advantages include:

• Repeatable components for consistent quality
  
• Ease of installation and removal
  
• Compatibility with other public realm features
  
• Suitable for temporary trials or long-term use

This flexibility makes it a practical choice for councils and designers managing evolving street strategies.

Durable Materials for On-Street Environments

• Hot-dip galvanised steel frame to ISO 1461
