This modern, curvaceous bench is done with ceramic tiles as a thank you to the supporters and contributors of the 2012 renovation of Balboa Park. The bench has two back-to-back seats mounted on a concrete pedestal. Each of the two bench seats has a different color theme, one has red, orange and yellow ceramic tiles, while the other has blue, yellow and green ceramic tiles. The red-orange-yellow bench side has the following engraved on the tiles.
The Trust for Public Land in Partnership with the San Francisco Recreation and Parks Department and five lead donors renovated Balboa Park in 2012.
