Just wondering....about Paddock Square
 

Ok, get out the popcorn! I have a couple complaints about Paddock Square!


At Paddock Square there is a big round bench with plants in the middle....it's a great place to sit to enjoy the entertainment EXCEPT that the planter is made of these really big sharp stones, which form the backrest of the bench/seating area.

The rocks are extremely uncomfortable, and sharp and they can tear at your clothes.

I am amazed that they think this is even appropriate for The Villages....could be dangerous, too!

Please give me some feedback on this!:crap2::crap2::crap2:

Its to keep people from roping it off and saving the seats.

Oh, that's a good one! Yeah, you can't even lean back! Nobody would rope that area off!

Just sit elsewhere,simple ez solution..people will complain about anything...:pray:

itsa planter?
So why is it being raised as a poor design for a back rest?
Who said it was a backrest?
Brownwood open for months with thousands of visitors and one complaint about a planter that is an uncomfortable back rest.......WOW!!!!!!!
:popcorn::popcorn:

Who says it was meant to sit on?

Not every horizontal surface is meant to be a seat you know

Where is this planter? Guess I haven't noticed it. I'm down there every now and then....will have to look for it. Went through the pictures I have of the square and also couldn't see it.

Please be careful!

Well now that looks like a planter with a bench!

I sat there for a while the day the Lotto was in the square. Maybe my as* has enough padding I didn't find it that bad. Once a few chairs opened I moved but someone took my place on the stone bench.

Go sit somewhere else. Problem solved.

Well, it is indeed a bench and I can see how clothing can be torn. It certainly was not designed for functionality....more for aesthetic appeal. It appears to be an easy fix if a mason would cover the stone with a clear resin of sorts and make it smooth. Not sure who you would call, but I might try first with the Sales Office...they would get you pointed in the right direction.

How true, it's meant for laying.
