When nature calls, New Yorkers say they’d rather wait than go to a public restroom in one of the city’s parks.

“It ends up being so gross so you just rush back home or the kids don’t even wanna get in there because it smells so yucky or you don’t have any toilet paper or soap or everything is flooded with water,” Camila Fernandez, who works as a nanny in Brooklyn, said.

A new City Council report found that two-thirds of more than 100 bathrooms had health and safety issues or were closed completely.

“Public restrooms in parks are always disgusting,” Alex Mwaneiambira, who lives near McLaughlin Park, said. “It’s always pretty bad. It never smells good. They never have any air fresheners. And I don’t mind using public restrooms in buildings but in the parks. It’s always nasty.”

According to the report, litter was found in 40% of the bathrooms and 23% appeared unsanitary. The investigation also determined there weren’t any garbage cans in 30% of restrooms, only 8% had menstrual product bins and nearly a quarter were missing baby changing stations.

“You’re not really going to take a kid into the park bathroom. Even if you do, take a child in there, they’re not in safe or operable condition usually,” Caleb Haraguchi-Combs, who often comes to the park with his wife, Shiri, and their one-year-old son, said.

“It’s a violation of our human right because it’s our basic needs,” Shiri said. “We have to go to the bathroom every day.”

According to the report, bathrooms were selected based on complaints council members received from their constituents.

A spokesperson for the Parks Department said the report does not accurately represent the city’s more than 700 public restrooms, claiming the City Council targeted locations known to be problematic.

“Public restrooms are by nature challenging sites to keep pristine, but we’re proud that Parks’ own inspection reports reflect over 90% acceptable ratings for litter and amenities at restrooms citywide,” the spokesperson said.

According to the Parks Department, more than 40 public restrooms are in the “construction pipeline” and it continues to bring new bathrooms online.
