A Large Street Parklet Designed for Communal Seating
Parklet 8 – Large with Planters & 4 Bay Picnic Tables is a purpose-designed street parklet developed to support group dining, informal meetings and social interaction within the public realm. Unlike smaller parklet configurations, this model prioritises seated capacity, providing clearly defined picnic bays arranged to encourage shared use.
It is commonly specified for:
- Town centres and high streets
- Café, restaurant and hospitality frontages
- Public squares and civic spaces
- Temporary or permanent placemaking schemes
- Events and seasonal street activations
By reallocating on-street space, the parklet helps create people-focused environments without the need for permanent construction.
Parklet Seating with Integrated Planters
The defining feature of this parklet with planters is its four-bay picnic table arrangement, with planting used to separate seating zones while softening the overall streetscape. The planters provide both visual structure and opportunities for greening within dense urban areas.
Design benefits include:
- Four dedicated picnic table bays for group use
- Integrated planters to define space and improve visual quality
- Clear circulation routes between seating areas
- A balanced layout that supports longer dwell times
This configuration makes the parklet particularly suitable for food-led destinations and community-focused spaces.
Modular Parklet System for Flexible Urban Use
Parklet 8 forms part of Broxap’s wider modular parklet system, allowing it to be deployed as a standalone feature or combined with other parklet elements to suit site requirements. The modular approach supports flexibility in layout, scale and long-term adaptability.
Key advantages include:
- Modular design for repeatable installation
- Ability to reconfigure or relocate as needs change
- Suitable for temporary trials or permanent placemaking schemes
- Compatible with wider street furniture strategies
This makes the system attractive to local authorities and designers seeking adaptable public realm solutions.
Durable Steel and Timber Construction
Manufactured for outdoor public use, the parklet combines a robust steel frame with timber seating and table elements. Materials are selected to withstand daily use while maintaining a welcoming, high-quality appearance.
Construction features include:
- Galvanised or powder-coated steel framework for durability
- FSC®-certified softwood or hardwood timber options
- Materials chosen for longevity and low maintenance
- Finishes that can be specified to suit surrounding context
This construction approach ensures the parklet performs reliably in busy urban environments.
