SHELTERS AND PARK RESTROOMS CLOSING FOR SEASON
LAWRENCE – The Lawrence Parks and Recreation Department announces the seasonal closing of outdoor shelters and park restrooms.
All park water fountains and restrooms will be shut down by tomorrow, Tuesday, Oct. 30.
The restrooms and shelters are closed during the winter months to avoid water freezing in pipes, as well as general maintenance that is performed on the facilities.
The shelters and restrooms will re-open in spring 2013. Shelter reservations are currently being accepted at any Parks and Recreation facility for dates no more than one year from the desired reservation date between April 15 and Oct. 30. There are also several indoor facilities available for year-round rental to accommodate reception, showers and party needs.
