Tables

Among the furnishings commonly located in public parks are tables, generally to match the benches. Table with benches DOften these benches form a single unit with the table, or are fixed in such a way as not to allow easy movement from the set position. The type of anchorage of the benches to the table can be a serious problem if not a real impediment for use by differently-abled people.
It could be useful to arrange, on one side of the table, a seat with backrest and arm rest (better if mobile) on which the differently-abled person can transfer with sufficient ease.
Those in wheelchairs must be able to get close to the table. There are different solutions possible, for example carving out a free space on one of the benches, so that the person in a wheelchair can position parallel to the occupants of the bench; or, choose tables where the level projects outwards enough at least on one side to allow a person in a wheelchair to get close easily. In both cases attention must be paid to the height of the table, and the type of support of the table itself, which must not obstruct the positioning of a wheelchair.
Further useful points could be the position of a low table, to favour smaller children or even more correctly, arrange a lower appendage directly at the “taller children´s” table. The same points should be observed for the high tables, as there are also wheelchairs for very small children.
