Bench and Picnic Table Guide
When donating a bench, consider the type of bench you would like installed and the location.
There are two types — metal or recycled plastic. Both benches are six feet in length. Note the
location determines what type of bench is installed.
The metal benches are green and located
alongside the streets in the downtown
business district. These benches have
metal railings. Offered upon availability.
The recycled plastic benches are natural color
and located along parks and park trails or
pathways. These benches have no side railings.
The donation amount is determined by the actual costs of the bench or picnic table,
shipping and taxes, plus a fee for installation and future maintenance and repairs. Due
to the cost variances from the product manufacturer, the costs can change at any time.
Call the Parks and Public Works Department for more information at (408) 399-5770.
Below are some guidelines to consider
when selecting a bench or picnic table.
Picnic tables can seat up to
8 adults. They can be in-
stalled at various park loca-
tions throughout Town.
Picnic tables come with a
built in plaque at the top of
the table, which can be
inscribed.
