Bathroom Solutions

Bathroom amenities within a park can range from non-existent to fully functional. The level of investment a city decides upon for its facilities will have to take into consideration the number and frequency of users, the types of activities and events that will occur within the park, budgetary constraints and the ability of the city to maintain the facilities. Production techniques have evolved such that prefabricated units are often cheaper and quicker to install than units built on site.
