This would make a good bed for many of our unfortunate homeless citizens.

That is not a sitting bench. It is to lie down for those quick afternoon naps...

A good place to sleep inebriated; you wouldn't fall out!

LOL - very carefully ;)

I don't believe I could do much sitting but I could take a break and lie down.

That's definitely a sleeping bench!

Olga, it would be a great place to put some hay if you had horses doing carriage rides around the park.

One person on each end, climb on, then stick your legs out through the oval opening on each end.

You don't sit, you squat

I wouldn't. 

With my butt in the center and my legs up.  I'd look like a big "V" but it'd be a good low back stretch!

Very carefully??!! 

Now that is an interesting dilmena

If you wanted to enter a giant burrito into the Guinness world, this is the mold needed to form it

Looks like it is a good place to lay down, just dont try to get out quickly

Hmm -- some new isometric exercise?  

Not for sitting..sleeping only.

A professor once attempted to stimulate thought by challenging students to consider how the world would be different if human beings knees bent the opposite direction. Sounds like one student in BOSTON took the challenge seriously.

If I wanted to sit, where there's a will there's a way. I would just look ridiculous getting up on it!

I would pass by and go to the next one!

See? The aliens are here already

Interesting.

Olga Simoncelli when you feel sleepy, this bench serves the purpose.

Looks more like a manger, is this a horse trail?

lie in the trough

Good for a nap.

That's not a bench, it's a trough.

I'm thinking...not!

I wouldn't even attempt it. With my bad knee, I'd never be able to get out!

Olga Simoncelli This bench is good for napping.

I'd say bring a blanket and take a nap!

Very carefully 

That is a sleeping bench for over indulgers of certain libations

horse trough.....

Looks like a bed for very skinny people. 

 Very carefully and I would watch what I was wearing ....

Horizontally?!  HA! Olga Simoncelli . . .  looks like it could be painful!

Not real comfortable

I would sit at the end of the bench

Very carefully

Olga,

Is this an optical illusion?  A

I wouldn't unless I had a very, very large derriere to fill that swale!!!

Olga Simoncelli There is another one going around where people are sitting on the park bench and there is no seating platform. Great optical illusions.

At my age very carefully.

It looks like one to lie on rather than sit.
