Parks public washrooms are open from 9am to 9pm in the summer. Fall and winter, they are open from 9am to dusk. Hours may vary slightly from location to location.
Washrooms at some smaller neighbourhood amenity buildings may only be open during Green Shack Program hours
Some washrooms are closed for winter (from Thanksgiving weekend to May, when it is warm enough that water lines completely thaw.) In spring/fall, portable toilets may be placed at River Valley comfort stations until main washrooms are open.
Washroom/Portable Toilet Maintenance
