Reservoir Park is getting a new, accessible washroom and change station. Construction is set to begin on Monday, July 28.
The new structure will feature two washrooms and three change rooms, a covered seating area and a foot wash station. The new building will include important accessibility features and will increase the comfort for all those who spend time in Reservoir Park.
Construction will happen over the next six weeks and Park users are asked to follow safety notices that will be posted on location. The construction team will do their best to limit impacts to Park users.
The new structure will be approximately 27 ft by 36 ft, with a ~500 square foot covered area for seating, picnic tables and shade. The location of this facility is just above the beach in a small, wooded section of the park currently occupied by portable toilets and a waste station.
The facility will meet or exceed the National Building Code accessibility standards and staff are aiming to achieve compliance with the CSA accessibility standards where possible. The washrooms will be available year-round and changing rooms will be open seasonally.
Exterior wash off taps and information bulletin boards are also incorporated into the design. The structure will have a timber framed roof system, and wooden board and batten siding with commercial grade and durable fixtures/materials inside.
