Prairie Path Permanent Restroom Survey

Following the voter-approved bond referendum in November 2024, the Park District is moving ahead with plans to construct a permanent, heated restroom near the Prairie Path.

The facility will give trail users access to safe, clean, heated restrooms year-round, whether you're biking, running, walking your dog, or out for a stroll.

We’re looking for your input! Help choose where the restroom will be constructed on the Prairie Path.

Think about where you usually start or finish your trip - are there stretches on the path with no nearby restrooms? Would having a restroom near a park, rest stop or busy intersection improve your experience?

Your input will help guide this process, please provide your feedback below.
Here is a preview of the restroom design. The Park District is planning for a two-stall non-gendered restroom.
