Park washrooms closing for season
As the colder weather is upon us, all of the public washrooms in city parks around Cranbrook are in the process of being closed for the season.
None of the outdoor public washrooms are designed to be open in the winter months – with the exception of the new washroom facilities in Rotary Park officially opened this past weekend – as the pipes and fixtures can freeze and crack causing significant damage and large costs to replace.
“Our staff with Public Works usually turns the water on at all city parks in early May until early October of each year,” said Chris Zettel, Communications Officer for the City of Cranbrook. “This is of course all weather dependent.”
Those parks affected include: Gyro, Kinsmen, Lionsview and Moir Parks (pictured), the Kinsmen Quad Ball Park and the Confederation Park Visitor’s Centre at Elizabeth Lake. Full closure of those washrooms is expected by the end of this week.
