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

What were the builders thinking?!?

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!

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...

[billethkid]

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!!!!!!!

Who says it was meant to sit on?

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

[pooh]

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.
