Request for feedback: Portable toilet in Tubby Bateman Park

The Strathcona Centre Community League has been approached to apply to the City of Edmonton to install a portable toilet in W.C. “Tubby” Bateman Park for the summer. The league would then also cover the monthly fee to have the toilet on-site and cleaned on a regular basis (roughly $125/month).

While the City manages all of our official parks and playgrounds, it’s up to smaller, community groups to take on some regular or semi-regular items, such as the installation (including cost) of a portable toilet.

The board of the community league discussed this at our last meeting (June 13) and felt that we should solicit any feedback there may be about installing a portable toilet before approving the request. (This does not, however, preclude interested park users in making the same request of another group or organization to “sponsor” the application with the City parks department).

If you have any thoughts about a portable toilet in Tubby Bateman Park this summer, please let us know in the comments below or by contacting myself, or another board member, by email through our contact page.
