Plans are being revised for new seating in a revamped park after people called for it to be more accessible.
The existing Peace Garden at Queens Gardens in Hull is being transformed into a memorial space for those who died during the Covid-19 pandemic, as part of a £21m redesign of the park.
Seating proposed in December included 15 granite seats arranged in a circle, which after “extensive feedback” was now being redesigned, Hull City Council said.
Councillor Mike Ross, leader of the council, said: “By improving the seating, we are ensuring that everyone can find comfort, connection and tranquillity within this green space.”
The Peace Garden has been located at the eastern end of the gardens since 1986.
The intention with the redesign, by Katayoun Dowlatshahi, was to “create a welcoming space where visitors can pause, relax and enjoy the surrounding views over the newly refurbished eastern pond, towards the Wilberforce Monument”.
Ross said: “We are grateful to the community for their invaluable feedback.
“This project is about creating an inclusive and peaceful space for reflection, and the revisions reflect our commitment to listening to residents’ needs.”
The wider Queens Gardens programme is expected to be complete by spring next year.
