Give Input On Restrooms In Wissahickon Park Feb 16

PHILADELPHIA — Have you ever had to go while on a hike in Wissahickon Valley Park?

If so, you may want to participate in an upcoming meeting on public restrooms in the park.

Friends of the Wissahickon is hosting its second public meeting on the park's restroom plan.

The meeting will be held at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 16 via Zoom.

Friends of the Wissahickon wants to hear park users' opinions and questions about the proposed restroom locations and facility types in the park during the Feb. 16 meeting.

The goal of the ongoing Restroom Master Plan is to provide accessible and environmentally sound restrooms to improve the park experience for the more than one million visitors to the Wissahickon each year.

In partnership with Philadelphia Parks & Recreation, the plan is largely supported by funding from the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources.

The plan is the initial step of a longer process that will responsibly guide any future development regarding restrooms in the park.
