Project Overview
Montgomery Parks knows that access to restrooms is a top priority for park visitors. That’s why we launched an initiative to better understand how restrooms are working across our parks. This helps us identify gaps and opportunities for improvement.
Since 2024, Parks staff have been collecting data to understand the existing condition of park restrooms. This includes their location, operational status, and how much it costs to clean and maintain them.
In February 2026, we launched a countywide survey to hear directly from you – our park users – about what matters most when it comes to restroom access in parks. The survey closed in April with over 1,700 responses from residents across nearly 90 percent of Montgomery County zip codes. Thank you to everyone who took the time to share your thoughts! Your feedback will help us prioritize restroom improvements in the future.
Status/Project Update
Right now, Parks staff are reviewing all the survey responses and combining them with the data we’ve collected. We are using this information to create a report that will share key findings and ideas for improvement.
The report is expected in fall 2026. Please check back here for updates!
