Meeting To Discuss Bathrooms In Wissahickon Valley Park

PHILADELPHIA — Have you ever had to go while you're in Wissahickon Valley Park?

If so, you may want to join an upcoming meeting on restrooms and other facilities in the park.

Friends of the Wissahickon wants to know what park goers think about that.

After years of increasing demand for more restroom facilities in the park, the group is beginning the next stage of a long-term project to meet current needs and to help plan projects over the next 10 years, as well as secure funding for the restrooms and additional maintenance staff.

The group is hosting its Master Restroom Plan Public Meeting at 6 p.m. Sept. 21.

The meeting will include new developments and help shape the installation of new restroom facilities in the park.

Friends of the Wissahickon's project consultants from NV5 will share proposed options for restroom locations, in addition to the data the group has collected to date from park-user counters and responses to the community-wide survey. Friends of the Wissahickon members and board members, as well as officials from Philadelphia Parks & Recreation, will be on hand to answer questions.
