Mayor Eric Adams has unveiled a new initiative to increase the availability of public restrooms in parks throughout all five boroughs.
Under the "Ur in Luck" plan, 82 new or renovated restroom facilities will be introduced in city parks over the next five years.The New York City Department of Parks and Recreation will build 46 new restrooms and renovate 36 existing restrooms, adding to New York City’s nearly 1,000 existing public restrooms. The existing restrooms being renovated will receive improvements ranging from additional stalls to accessibility upgrades, as well as energy-efficient features.
We’ve already added changing tables to all NYC Parks public restrooms where it’s feasible — three years ahead of schedule. The new and renovated bathrooms we’ll deliver over the next five years will make it easier for New Yorkers to embrace the best parts of this city: our shared outdoors spaces," Adams said.Once all the restrooms are complete, 10 are slated to be placed in the Bronx, 23 in Brooklyn, 28 in Manhattan, 14 in Queens, and seven on Staten Island.
