Refurbished park toilets ready for spring

All public toilets in Hackney’s parks and green spaces have now been refurbished in time for spring and summer, completing a programme of improvements over the past few years. 

The newly refurbished Clissold Park toilets are now open to the public, marking the final phase of work to refresh and modernise public facilities in Hackney’s parks and green spaces. 

The improvements are designed to make park toilets more modern, accessible, and welcoming for park visitors, helping people to be able to stay and enjoy Hackney’s green spaces for longer.

The newly updated facilities at Clissold Park, located within the Grade II listed Clissold House, include male and female facilities, an accessible toilet, and baby change provision. The old red tiles have been replaced with a modern design that compliments the building’s historic architecture. 

In addition to the Clissold Park renovations, the Council installed brand-new public toilet facilities in Abney Park Cemetery last year and Britannia Leisure Centre, serving Shoreditch Park, in 2021. A new public toilet will also open soon in Fairchild's Garden as part of the new cafe kiosk.
