The Salt Lake City Department of Public Lands is launching a four-week restroom attendant pilot program at Liberty Park to help keep park facilities safe, welcoming, and accessible. The initiative is scheduled to begin Monday, Oct. 26, 2026, at the restrooms near Rotary Play Park.
The pilot program will run from Oct. 26 through Nov. 22, 2026. During this period, an attendant provided by AllPro Security will be present at the restrooms located on the south end of Rotary Play Park at 600 Harvey Milk Blvd. The restrooms will only be open during specific attendant hours: Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Saturday through Sunday from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m.
The department is implementing this measure to address issues with vandalism and situations where individuals occupy restrooms for extended periods, which can prevent others from using the facilities as intended. The specific location was selected because the restrooms near Rotary Play Park were recently renovated as part of playground improvements, and officials expect an increase in families and children visiting the renewed space.
The pilot is designed to help Public Lands evaluate what is learned to consider long-term approaches for keeping restrooms open and available to the public. While the program is being tested, the department stated that no full-time attendant position is planned at this time due to the ongoing costs associated with dedicated attendants.
Visitors are asked to follow specific restroom guidelines during the pilot, including using stalls in a timely manner and using sinks for hand-washing only. Guidelines include a limit of one person per stall, except when assistance is needed for a child, disability, medical need, or caregiving. The attendant can be notified regarding damage or maintenance concerns.
