Restrooms

Restroom

Restrooms across the park system are available year-round and seasonally from late April to early October. Indoor restrooms are open approximately 10:00 am to 8:00 pm. The website lists OPEN locations. 

2025 Seasonal Closures - Started the week of October 13

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.
