Temporary Closure Notice

  • Warner Park Boat Launch Restrooms - Due to maintenance issues, the restrooms are closed. 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 and portable unit is onsite. 

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

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.
