County opens more public washrooms

Residents and visitors who want to get out and enjoy nature or support local businesses will have greater access to public washrooms starting this weekend.

The County is taking extra precautions as it opens washroom facilities across the municipality, following the advice of Hastings Prince Edward Public Health and the lessons learned when washrooms were open in three locations during the last two weekends.

Permanent washroom locations
Building washrooms will be open from 9 am until 7 pm seven days a week. They will be cleaned twice a day. Building washrooms are located at:
Skate Park, Picton Fairgrounds
Benson Park, Picton
Wellington Park, Wellington
Millpond Park, Bloomfield
Town Hall, Bloomfield
West Fall Park, Carrying Place
Roblin Lake Park, Ameliasburgh

These facilities have been adapted for single use only and to minimize touch surfaces. To prevent the spread of COVID-19, washroom users must respect the signs posted and take the following precautions:
Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water for at least 20 seconds
Use paper towels for hand drying
Stay 2 metres/6 feet apart from others when waiting or entering a bathroom

Seasonal washroom locations
Portable toilets are also available in several other locations to expand services across the County. The portable toilets will be equipped with hand sanitizer or portable sinks, and will be cleaned daily. They are located at:
Jack Taylor Park, Hillier
North Marysburgh Town Hall, Waupoos
Wellington Beach, Wellington (the existing permanent washrooms have showers and are not able to open under the Stage 2 provincial order)
Glendon Green Boat Launch, Athol
Weller’s Bay/Edward Drive Boat Launch, Consecon
Rossmore Boat Launch, Rossmore
Northport Boat Launch, Sophiasburgh
South Bay Boat Launch, South Marysburgh
