Public washrooms at three local parks to be closed at 5:00 p.m. daily

Starting this week, the public washrooms at Cadzow Park, the St. Marys Lawn Bowling Club and Kin Pavilion will be closed between 5:00 p.m. and 9:00 a.m. daily.

The Town of St. Marys is making the move in response to a recent rash of vandalism. The washrooms at Cadzow Park, for example, have been vandalized every weekend since opening on May 20, 2022.

Accessible port-a-potties will be added to each location to ensure that washroom facilities are available for park users.

Stratford Police Services has increased monitoring activities at local parks to deter vandals. Residents who witness acts of vandalism or mischief are encouraged to call the police’s non-emergency line at 519-271-4141. Town staff are also considering adding security cameras to parks in the future.
