The Parklet
Introducing Open Air Dining
Dine Differently
A Parklet is a thoughtfully designed space that transforms a street parking spot into a vibrant outdoor seating area for nearby businesses. By creating a welcoming extension of the sidewalk, Parklets enhance the urban landscape, increase foot traffic, and provide additional seating for restaurants. They offer a unique way to activate city streets, fostering a sense of community and providing more enjoyable outdoor dining experiences.
Designing A Parklet
Preparing For Your Parklet: It is important to prepare for your Parklet with a level building area and completed frame and flooring. Once you have determined your frame and floor you are ready to start designing your custom Parklet.
Parklet Barriers made from fiberglass, corten steel, GFRC, and fiberstone serve to separate dining areas from vehicle zones. These materials can be designed to accommodate added weight for increased stability, providing a safe, freestanding solution that doesn't require permanent attachment to streets or sidewalks.
Barrier Customization: The barriers can be customized in a variety of ways, such as lighting recesses and quick installation via forklift knockouts.
Planting Palettes: Select from curated combinations of low-maintenance artificial greenery designed to create cohesive, visually appealing platscapes. Each palette includes a detailed planting plan and a selection of faux plant materials arranged for texture, color, and form.
Screens: have been designed and engineered to seamlessly integrate with the barriers. These screens can slot directly into the barriers without any additional support.
Branded Signage available to seamlessly integrate into your parklet.

Beverly Hills Parklets
This installation featured 12 large-scale parklet planters engineered with integrated rebar cages and concrete-filled bases. These design features were not only crucial for meeting the specific weight and impact resistance requirements set forth by the City of Beverly Hills, but they also ensured the planters remained freestanding and secure without the need for permanent ground attachment. This strategic combination of structural integrity and aesthetic appeal exemplifies how Planters Unlimited blends form and function to deliver high-performance urban streetscape solutions.
