On October 12, I wrote a rather long post regarding the closing of our facilities for the winter. That post explained all of the details regarding why and how facilities are closed. However, after a few Park Patrol members (and some of our staff!) kept asking questions, I felt we needed something short and sweet on which restrooms will be kept open from now until mid-April.
Only 4 restrooms will stay open this winter:
1) MKT Trailhead restroom at Scott Blvd
2) MKT Trailhead restroom at Forum Blvd
3) Stephens Lake Park restroom located between the Collins & Gordon Shelters
4) Cosmo Park restroom located between the Nickell and Lamb Shelters
This is a change from previous years and is a result of a cut-back in the department's budget. We usually keep more restrooms open including the exterior restroom at Stephens Lake Park's Riechmann Pavillion, the restroom at Comso-Bethel Park, the Dexheimer restroom in Cosmo park, and the restroom at Nifong Park. However, in an effort to help save city funds, we felt that closing these facilities would impact the fewest number of users as compared to any of the four restrooms that were kept open.
Hopefully, by this time next year, the City's financial situation will have improved enough that we will be able to open up a few more restrooms for the winter.
