Ah ok! Apologies - Yes, there are quite a few places to sit, I think there was a ledge of sorts by the building entrance too.

More on these chunky benches - they appear to be made out of large pieces of wood, and are held together with dowels. They’re a bit worse for wear but are a lovely addition (and comfortable).

This one’s for you @susanklaiber.bsky.social

Besides the super structures there are also some nice, more overtly PoMo flourishes, like this triangular pink picket fence, a trellis, geometric planters, and some very whimsical wooden benches.
