Public restrooms are essential facilities, and the right add-ons can transform a standard restroom into a multifunctional and welcoming space for the community. Whether it’s in parks, beaches, event venues, or urban centers, here are some of the best enhancements for public restrooms, especially for those hotter months.
Space for Storage
Adding storage space to any restroom building can be a game-changer. From park equipment to extra space for supplies, having a little more room can be quite transformational for the park and staff. No need to trailer large equipment and maintenance supplies from each location, just leave it on site and lock it up when finished. Interested in hosting community summer camps? A dedicated storage room can store all the necessary gear and supplies for campers, making daily setup for your camp counselors a breeze.
Snack Shack
Combining public restrooms with concession stands, small or large, can be both practical and profitable with an additional revenue stream to boot. For any midsize to large parks with multiple fields, concessions add another layer of convenience for guests by having food and drinks available on site for purchase. And you don’t have to limit yourself to just food and drink; offer other useful products like sunscreen and hand sanitizer too and be a real homerun with every mom at the park.
Shower Time
As we wrap up the dog days of summer, staying cool and having fun outside is time well spent. Visiting a splash park in your community is one of the best ways to beat the heat and let kids run wild, but wouldn’t it be nice to rinse off after? Offering exterior showers in addition to the restroom facility is a no-brainer, as it helps keep things more hygienic. If you happen to be one of the lucky ones and your “local park” is at the beach, incorporating a dedicated foot wash or place to shower off all that sand is one of the most useful add-ons you can provide. As always, make sure your showers are ADA-accessible and include folding benches too.
Adding a public restroom is a big bonus for any park, but when thoughtful add-ons enhance user satisfaction and increase utility—it’s a big win for all.
