Project Overview
Montgomery Parks knows that access to bathrooms is a top priority for park visitors. That’s why we’ve launched an initiative to better understand the current state of park bathrooms and identify the features that matter most to the community.
Since 2024, Parks staff have been collecting data to evaluate the existing condition of park bathrooms, including their physical state, operational status, and maintenance costs. This helps us identify gaps and opportunities for improvement.
Now, we need your help. Tell us what matters most about bathroom access in parks so we can make informed choices about how to balance community needs and staff capacity to improve access to park bathroom facilities.
