Buddy Bench Brings Community, Compassion, and Connection to Every Park, School, and Playground
Coated Outdoor Furniture Launches American-Made Outdoor Benches Designed to Promote Inclusion, Support Mental Health, and Create Meaningful Connections Among Children
DALLAS, TEXAS / ACCESS Newswire / April 15, 2025 / Coated Outdoor Furniture, a leading manufacturer of safe and durable American-made outdoor furniture, is proud to announce the official launch of its newest product: the Buddy Bench. Designed for installation in parks, schools, and other community spaces, the Buddy Bench is more than just an outdoor bench - it's a symbol of kindness, inclusion, and emotional well-being for children.

Built on the foundational values of American craftsmanship, the Buddy Bench was created to address a simple yet powerful need: helping children feel seen, supported, and included. Whether placed on a school playground or along the edge of a park, this thoughtfully crafted bench serves as a "friendship signal" for any child seeking a connection. When a child sits on the bench, it's a quiet way of saying they'd like someone to talk to or play with - encouraging others to join them and sparking new friendships in the process.
"At Coated Outdoor Furniture, our mission has always been to deliver outdoor solutions that not only endure but elevate their environments," said Lindsey Albracht, Amazon Business Consultant at Coated Outdoor Furniture. "The Buddy Bench is a beautiful extension of that mission. It creates opportunities for kindness, boosts confidence, and transforms ordinary benches into tools for emotional connection and positive social interaction."

Beyond its emotional impact, the Buddy Bench also offers tangible mental health and behavioral benefits. It supports social-emotional learning by encouraging empathy, reducing instances of bullying, and fostering a sense of community among students. Educators and parents alike have recognized its role in minimizing feelings of isolation, increasing classroom focus, and empowering children with the confidence to reach out and build meaningful peer relationships.
Manufactured in the USA with the same high-performance coating and steel construction as the company's renowned product line, the Buddy Bench is engineered to withstand the elements without compromising on safety or visual appeal. Available in a range of colors and customizable configurations, it integrates seamlessly into schoolyards, parks, and other outdoor gathering areas - serving both form and function.

Coated Outdoor Furniture invites school administrators, municipalities, and nonprofit organizations to join the movement and bring a Buddy Bench to their community. By investing in this innovative product, stakeholders are creating inclusive, supportive environments where every child has a place to belong.
