In parks and any other suitable public spaces in cold climates, erect large mounds of smoothed concrete.
I'm thinking 20 meters across and about 6 or 7 high, with access ramps and steps. The surface would be shaped to provide reclining spaces for anybody to lie down and bask in the sunshine. Cop-holder
spaces are also provided for your coffee / tea / soup. Drain holes are present in any hollows, and there are protocols about cleaning.
Would these cause the emergence of local 'basking groups', with a heirarchy similar to some other primate clans?

why do cops get preferential treatment? |
|

why are rocks better than grass? |
|

thanks Frank. very informative. |

I like this a lot... would prefer it even
more
if the mounds were somehow composed
of
polished black basalt, so that they could
act like the opposite of those icy, sub
zero water holes into which hardy
Russians dive
every year.... |

Cameras first record the frying of a
large
breakfast on "The Rock" prior to the
first
lunatic basker stepping barefoot unto
its
sizzling surface on a blisteringly hot
day. |

Sorry [po], first post back after some time away. Lizards bask on rocks so that they get heated from both above and below. |

Agree black basalt would be the ideal choice. The slightly elevated radiatiation levels would also assist bodily heating. I can see some businesses springing up around the rocks, like a canvas mat rental booth (for those days when the rock is too hot) and of course a "Tails For All" shop... |

This is kind of baked (around here) at a lot of quarries where people going swimming and lay all around on the huge rocks in the summer. |

It's popular at Rocky Falls and at Johnson Shut-ins here in Missouri. I'd like basking rocks in my town. [+] |

It's a good thing there'll be cops. They'll keep away the basking sharks. |
