Starting May 8, 2024, Staggs Park restrooms and the dock at Tierra Verde Lake will be shut down, the city has announced. These closures are due to remodeling and construction efforts set to enhance the current facilities.

As per the city's official statement, there will be "no bathroom access and limited sidewalk access during construction." Park-goers are advised to plan accordingly and consider these closures when organizing their outdoor activities. Moreover, individuals should be cautious of and yield to onsite contractors, working diligently to update the park's amenities.

The decision to upgrade the facilities comes in response to the park’s increasing popularity and the subsequent wear and tear on its infrastructure. The restrooms, in particular, have faced criticism for being outdated and insufficient for the volume of visitors the park attracts, especially during peak seasonal events and weekend rushes.

Details regarding the extent of the construction, as well as the projected timeline for completion, have not been made available. However, the Litchfield Park authorities have ensured that the inconveniences will be temporary and the result would provide improved services for all. The local community and park enthusiasts are hopeful, that the enhancements will be worth the wait.

For those seeking more information, Litchfield Park officials have advised to keep an eye on the city's website for updates.
