Palo Alto Community Restroom Facility

Restroom Projects

The City of Palo Alto is currently working on installing new restrooms at a number of locations in Palo Alto recreation facilities. These recreation facilities were chosen due to the high volume of use by the community and the high-quality facilities that require a restroom facility for prolonged use. A capital improvement project was established in 2017 that provides funding every other year for new restroom facilities.

Completed Projects

Cubberley Community Center Play Fields and Track

A new four-stall restroom with sanitary sewage pump station has been installed at the Cubberley Community Center play fields. The restroom was a much-needed facility for the heavily used fields as there were only two portable restrooms available onsite. The asphalt pathway adjacent to the track and fields has also been repaved as part of the project.

Boulware Park

A two-stall restroom was installed at the newly renovated and expanded Boulware Park to support the new playground, group picnic area, basketball courts, bocce ball court, and dog park. The restroom was incorporated into the overall park design during the community outreach/design phase portion of the project. 

Completed Spring 2025

Rinconada Park
The new Rinconada Park Restroom is located adjacent to the newly remodeled playground at the park. The two-stall restroom services the full park, but provides closer facilities to the playground and group picnic areas at that end of the park. The current restroom located centrally in the park will also be replaced as part of Phase 2 of the Rinconada long range renovation plan, which is anticipated to occur in 2028.

Completed Summer 2024
