It would be great to have a bathroom at the boat park!

This is so needed. There are no bathrooms anywhere near this playground. Going in the woods is unsanitary and gross but what option do you have when your child has to go? This will be a huge improvement.

Wonderful playground for young children; hours of old fashioned fun.

The playground desperately needs sanding and repainting, the wood on the structures is splintered and my children and others' children regularly get splinters climbing on structures.

I've been taking kids to the "Boat Park" for over 20 years - first my nieces and nephews and now my neighbor's kids. I've made phone calls, written letters, sent emails and signed petitions for a bathroom here countless times.
Park and Rec says use the bathroom at the soccer fields. That's not available due to renovation, is too far away, is dangerous due to its isolated location, isn't practical especially with toddlers - and who wants to walk through the sex scenes going on at Bernice Rogers. Using the bushes at the playground is dangerous and unhealthy for the patrons and park workers at the playground.
This has gone on for far too long.

This is a health issue for the users of the playground and the environment of the park. Children should not be learning it's okay to use the park as an open air bathroom.

This is necessary for children who play here AND for elders/caregivers watching them. Please support having a bathroom!

We live on 42nd Ave near Lincoln and my kids were all but raised at Boat Park. They have each defecated in the trees there numerous times, along with all their little friends and the homeless encamped nearby. We have already signed petitions asking for a restroom at this site. This is simply because we are not Pac Heights or other monied neighborhood, and because public restrooms and indigent populations make the city squeamish. Does this fly anymore? Our neighborhood is one of the most expensive in the country now. More families with children are moving here by the day. As for funding, why can't Outsidelands pay for it. The city makes gobs of money off that festival, none of which benefits the neighbors most affected and inconvenienced. Btw, those same neighbors who have children who use boat park, and are now signing yet another petition asking for a bathroom at boat park!
