Adopt A Bench
We are looking for people to adopt a bench in their neighborhood. This involves keeping an eye on the bench to ensure it is in good condition, and to report any issues if not. See the Adopt A Bench documentation for more info!

We use a modified version of the Duderstadt Bench, from the Public Bench Project in San Francisco. To see the templates and hardware we use for benches, visit our ko-fi shop! CAD plans for the bench are on OnShape!
