Movable chairs





“The service will operate from a mobile tent. The price of renting a chair or umbrella at English Bay is still to be determined. The park board will receive a 16-to-18-percent share of gross annual revenue. “A beach chair and umbrella rental service pilot program provides an ideal opportunity for the Park Board to test this concept and determine its overall market appeal, perceived value, and viability for both the public and the Park Board.”

“People like to sit in public places, and, far more fascinatingly, that if given the option they will almost always move chairs before they sit in them.”


"People can arrange chairs how they like, to sit nearer or farther apart, and move them around to either sun or shade (click on the video clip above to see moveable seating in action). This choice allows people to exercise their options to sit near an event, or away in the quiet, wherever they may feel more comfortable. Many times, they will leave them right where they are, or move them just a few inches.
