Restrooms across the park system are available year-round and seasonally from late April to early October. Indoor restrooms are open approximately 11:00am to 8:00pm during the winter season.

The website lists open locations.

Closures

Temporary Closure Notice

Warner Park Boat Launch - Closed due to maintenance issues. Initial findings of the boat launch building found extensive settling issues causing the plumbing to break apart and fail. This project will be managed by City Engineering. The restrooms will remain closed until further notice. Portable units are onsite.

Seasonal Closures - October - April

Hard freezes can occur at any time in October. A hard freeze is defined as temperatures dropping to 28°F or below. In 2024, this happened on October 15. As such, staff must prepare by closing and winterizing restrooms and drinking fountains. This system-wide process takes weeks to complete. Additionally, we no longer have seasonal staff for regular cleaning. Seasonal restrooms will reopen Saturday, April 25, 2026.
