More than two dozen seasonal washrooms and fountains in Toronto’s public parks are now open for the season.
The City of Toronto, in a news release, said this spring it is accelerating the process to activate its 128 seasonal washrooms.
Weather permitting, any remaining standalone water fountains and bottle-filling stations in parks should be open by late May. Further, the city maintains its seasonal washrooms and fountains throughout the season and may occasionally temporarily close them, if more significant repairs or maintenance is required.
Last June, former mayor John Tory presented a motion at city council to modernize service in Toronto’s parks by directing staff to ensure seasonal facilities are accessible as soon as possible after winter. He also called for sports fields to be mowed and de-littered sooner. The motion, seconded by Scarborough-Rouge Park Coun. Jennifer McKelvie, was passed on June 15.
