The best way to think about prospect refuge is a space/spot where you can see several different views, preferably nothing/ no one can come from behind. 

  • EX: Booth connor seat
  • EX: Church sets 
  • EX: Benches 

Those three examples are the spot where you have at least three different views or more, and people tend to feel very comfortable in them.
