The Bench

Every real community needs a place to meet, a place that is owned by no one, but used by everyone.  The park bench in Belle Isle Park came about out of the joint effort of DNV Parks and local residents.  

 

Our bench was a starting point, a symbol and metaphor for the desire and need of  the community for connection and interaction.  "The Bench" page of the CGA blog site maintains this metaphor between the physical reality of the park bench and the virtual "bench" of the electronic neighbourhood.  Come and sit, talk.website
