Spud Murphy Park Washrooms

The City of Abbotsford is constructing new permanent washrooms in Spud Murphy Park, which will replace the portables installed annually during peak park use. The new washrooms will be located on the east side of the park, close to the park entrance on the corner of Hillcrest Avenue and James Street to allow easy access from accessible pathways and clear sightlines to the washrooms. The new washrooms will complement the existing park amenities and will provide a safer, cleaner and more accessible alternative for park users year-round. The washrooms will be pre‐engineered sturdy structures, designed to mitigate or deter most common problems experienced with public toilets, such as uncleanliness, vandalism and improper uses. The sleek and modern design of the units discourage crime with graffiti‐proof wall panels and open grating at the top and bottom. Washrooms will be locked during evening hours. The park will remain open to the public during the construction phase and the new washrooms are anticipated to be open to the public in late Summer or early Winter, 2025.
