Park Furniture Australia is very proud to announce its new partnership with Education Australia as the lead outdoor furniture supplier for schools, universities and educational institutions across Australia. At Park Furniture Australia, we are passionate about providing safe and comfortable recreational areas and believe they are the lifeblood of a healthy social school environment.

The importance of providing areas for students to learn, play, socialise, and relax on school grounds has grown as campuses across Australia prioritise students’ experiences in academic life. This includes creating suitable outdoor learning settings for students to take a break from the classroom and technology. Bringing the classroom outside and having plenty of outdoor seating options and arrangements can assist students learning, social skills, and general health.

When it comes to outdoor furniture for the schoolyard or other locations adjacent to the school grounds, we aim to fundamentally alter what you would traditionally think of. Gone are the days when wooden picnic benches and locker-room benches were the primary sources of seating outdoors. While all our products accommodate all the traditional needs of outdoor furniture, we take the chance to be a little different and create customised outdoor learning spaces for students of all ages. We aim to add colour, aesthetic and functionality to these spaces with specially designed and manufactured outdoor seating solutions. Park Furniture Australia also prides itself on being a sustainable outdoor seating option; all our products are manufactured from ECOPLASSWOOD, a material produced from recycled materials, allowing us to stimulate the circular economy and reduce waste within our ecosystem.

When we look to the future, we see the potential for inclusive, accessible outdoor spaces which bring comfort and aesthetic value to everyone in school environments. At Park Furniture Australia, we have made it our mission to design and manufacture stunning outdoor furniture that is durable, graffiti-proof, insect resistant, comfortable and sustainable. We provide outdoor furniture solutions which require minimal maintenance and are built for longevity from sustainably sourced materials in a unique formula that helps them stand the test of time in our harsh Australian climate.

Park Furniture Australia is dedicated to making Australia more sustainable for future generations by producing and manufacturing high-quality, sustainable outdoor furniture for schools and campuses within the educational sector. We are partnering with Education Australia to help bring this mission into reality at educational facilities Australia-wide.

Schools all around Australia are striving to enrich and enhance the educational experience for pupils and expand their facilities without incurring excessive costs or long-term maintenance obligations. Individuals charged with this task are inclined to think of improving desks, computers, whiteboards and other indoor facilities. One of the most commonly overlooked features of many schools is the outdoor furniture that they have installed to create comfortable outdoor learning environments for students to engage in nature. In Australia, our educational facilities have a strong focus on a wholistic experience in which children participate in learning both indoors and outdoors.

Creating comfortable outdoor learning environments has become increasingly important over the years as we prioritise students school lives – providing places to learn, play, socialise and relax on school grounds. Bringing the classroom outdoors and providing ample outdoor seating arrangements has a range of benefits for students, supporting their learning, social skills and overall health.

The benefits of installing outdoor furniture in schools and other educational institutions include:

Immersing Students in Nature

Every student is unique, and whilst some decide to play physically during their outside time, some choose calmer pursuits such as reading a book, finishing their schoolwork, or simply sitting quietly and conversing with other students. At break times, these pursuits are just as popular as physical play, climbing, and jogging. Being outside provides students with the opportunity to stimulate their curiosity, socialise with friends in a relaxed environment and enjoy their breaks in the sun. Educational institutions need to provide equipment for those who prefer active pursuits, as well as park benches, seats and outdoor tables for those who opt to sit and relax outside during their breaks from the classroom.

Brings learning outdoors

While most lessons take place in a classroom, outdoor areas can also serve as a beneficial learning environment. The outdoors can provide a relaxed and comfortable learning environment as everyone has an innate urge to be in and connect to nature. By providing students with the option to spend some of their classes outdoors in a space furnished with outdoor furniture, students can satisfy this need. There are many advantages to outdoor classes, and with an appropriately equipped outdoor space, teachers and students alike can benefit from working in nature.

Creates a comfortable environment

Although it might seem obvious, your school’s outdoor furniture offers a comfortable location for both teachers and students to unwind when required. Even though the majority of a typical school day is spent indoors in a classroom learning, students still need to go outside to go from class to class, enjoy recess and lunch, participate in physical education, or depart the campus at the end of the day. Commercial street and park furniture is a crucial investment to accommodate everyone who wants to relax, study, eat, drink, or move comfortably during these scenarios.

Encourages socialisation

A key component of school life is the development of social skills; academics are obviously essential, but many students will spend most of their break time socialising outside. The social skills of students are benefited from street furniture in this situation. Seating, such as benches, seats and outdoor settings and outdoor tables, are essential in every educational facility as they help promote social interaction and provides areas where students can unwind and form connections. From straightforward classic wooden benches to a more contemporary timber and aluminium minimalism bench, Park Furniture Australia offers seating and benches in a variety of designs and materials.

Provides safe and secure seating

Because our benches and seats are available in bolt-down and in-ground mounting options, students are more secure because they can’t move them around, which lowers the risk of accidents and injuries on school property. benches, seats and outdoor tables free from sharp edges are perfect for schools as students are less likely to scratch or harm themselves on the sharp edges. In-ground benches and seats that are secured with bolts also deter theft, particularly after school and on weekends when it is known that the grounds aren’t usually manned.

Flexibility of choice and customisation

Our street furniture range offers a wide selection of outdoor furniture solutions suited to educational facilities. Whether you’re looking for non-permanent seating solutions for collaborative learning, school assemblies and more, stackable seating may be useful to you. If you’re seeking to create an outdoor eating area, then our range of outdoor settings will be perfect to provide comfort and functionality. Whatever you may be looking for, our range has something for every outdoor seating need, and we are able to fully customise our seating options to suit your colour, size and accessibility requirements.

Park Furniture Australia’s extensive range of street and outdoor furniture is a perfect fit for schools and educational institutions across Australia that are looking to create functional and aesthetic outdoor seating areas that will last. Our products are designed and manufactured with quality, durability and style in mind. Our materials ensure our products are low maintenance, warp and stain resistant, graffiti proof and can withstand the harsh Australian climate.

We produce items on demand to assist you in getting your campus ready for the new academic year and for many years to come. We encourage you to peruse the various choices and the comprehensive selection of our customisable colour and finish options that can elevate the effectiveness and student quality of life on your campus.

At Park Furniture Australia, as a supplier of high-quality outdoor furniture and street furniture, we combine functionality, aesthetics and sustainability to offer our clients value with every product.

What makes our products different is our material choice – street furniture is used in public outdoor spaces and as such, it is exposed to the harsh elements of the Australian climate as well as the general wear and tear of continuous use. Because of this, outdoor furniture needs to be robust and require minimal maintenance. The furniture we manufacture at Park Furniture Australia is made from ECOPLASWOOD, a material made from recycled plastics, and recycled Aluminium.

Aluminium’s durable properties make it one of our choice production materials as it can withstand any street, park, or environment:

• Resistance to Rust and Corrosion: Exposure to various weather conditions over time does not cause aluminium to corrode or degrade. This makes it suited to harsh Australian weather conditions such as direct sunshine, rain, snow, ferocious storms, and extremely hot or cold temperatures have no effect on aluminium. Because it is resistant to UV rays, high precipitation and humidity in particular, aluminium outdoor furniture is perfect for coastal regions.
• Lightweight and Strong: Aluminium is a great material for outdoor settings because of its amazing balance of lightweight and durability. Lightweight aluminium furniture is portable and easy to move while being sturdy with a high strength-to-weight ratio.
• Low Maintenance: To maintain the appearance of aluminium outdoor furniture, you don’t need regular cleanings or the application of protective coatings making it the perfect solution for public outdoor spaces.
• Affordable: Despite its many advantages, aluminium furniture is inexpensive and offers excellent value for your money. With little care required and reasonable rates, aluminium furniture is a top choice for outdoor use.
• Recyclable: Arguably the most beneficial feature of aluminium is its ability to be recycled. Aluminium is known as the “Green Metal” as it is a highly durable metal which is 100% recyclable and can be recycled again and again without degrading its inherent value. Nearly 75% of all aluminium ever produced is still in use today.

Aluminium is increasingly becoming the material of choice in our modern sustainable world for outdoor furniture due to its longevity, simplicity of installation, low maintenance requirements, and affordability. Our premium aluminium furniture range comes from 100% recycled aluminium stock and is reformed into our signature street furniture designs. Aluminium is a great choice for all types of commercial cases for outdoor furniture including outdoor settings, park benches and park seats. View our aluminium street furniture range today!

Enjoy the great Outdoors, Sustainably

Recreational grounds in all council areas are the lifeblood of our communities. They are the place where people meet, live and laugh, a place for reflection and remembrance, a place for first dates, dog walks and morning runs.

Managing our parks and gardens is more important than ever as we move towards being a collective of people who work from home and rarely socialise outdoors.

The landscape design of these spaces is critical and the choice of infrastructure is paramount.

Low-maintenance, long-lasting products

Roadmaps tell us that councils should create spaces that are inclusive, accessible and easy to use which feature low-maintenance, long-lasting, easy-to-install products that are sustainably sourced, aesthetically pleasing, comfortable and cost-effective.

It’s a big ask, but it is what they do at Park Furniture Australia. In fact, it is all they do.

At Park Furniture Australia they have made it their mission to design and manufacture stunning park furniture that is durable, graffiti-proof, insect-resistant, comfortable and 100% sustainable. This means all their products are manufactured from recycled sources.

100% sustainable outdoor furniture

At Park Furniture Australia they want to fundamentally change the way you think about outdoor furniture. No longer is it necessary to chop down trees to create beautiful long lasting outdoor furniture like park benches, outdoor settings and park seats instead Park Furniture Australia helps councils across Australia to drive the circular economy by being part of the process of taking soft plastic waste and aluminium offcuts out of landfill and remaking other durable products with it.

As an Australian manufacturer of high-quality sustainable outdoor furniture for urban environments, Park Furniture Australia’s drive and passion is to make Australia more sustainable for future generations.
