Public seating refers to benches, chairs, and other seating arrangements found in public spaces such as parks, streets, and transit stations. These areas are designed to provide comfort and rest for people while they engage in activities like waiting, socializing, or enjoying the outdoors. Public seating can vary in design, materials, and placement, often reflecting the character of the surrounding environment. Common materials include wood, metal, and concrete, and seating may be arranged in clusters or along pathways to encourage interaction among users.
