  It provides shade for most of both benches exactly at noon in summer time. Any other time you’re SOL.

    Have you never been to a park my guy? This is decent urban design. Maybe you just had a bad day and you’re looking for something to be mad about

      Your guy is kind of over the top and his humor is a bit off, but he’s not wrong. A couple strategically planted trees OR a couple more carefully planned covers would provide shade to the benches most of the day.

      A park I frequent has three large triangle shades suspended overhead that cover most benches and some of the play area most of the day. That’s good urban design.

      This is economic design. One shade that barely covers two benches at noon.

        I specifically said this is decent urban design, not good. I agree with you.

      Its overcast now so it is not bothering me. I just thought to post this in case some was thinking about designing a new park somewhere.
