Blackheath Memorial Park is a most beautiful public park - sweeping lawns & mature rhododendrons surround three kids play areas, a duck pond & free BBQ facility. But without adequate PUBLIC TOILETS it's underused by families & does not fulfill Council's stated aims for Child Friendly City either.
This is why FoBP&MP suggested Council look at ways to better utilise existing facilities within The Pool Pavilion. Currently these are closed to the public for eight months & open only during the four-month swimming seeason December to March each year.
BM Gazette article "Blackheath Pool plans scuttled by council" 18-May-11**
**NB the original BMCC Capital Works budget for the stand-alone toilets (which remains extant as result of this last Council meeting decision) is *$400K* - not $300K - as stated in this Gazette article!!
Even more reason to open access to Pavilion toilets.
