Logan begins winter closures of park restrooms and gathering-area reservations
The city says draining water lines early prevents freeze damage, and the closures last until spring.
Logan Parks and Recreation began closing some park facilities on Oct. 15, including restrooms and reservations for gathering areas, the Herald Journal reported. The closures will roll out over time and last until next spring. [1]
Julie Cook, the department's information representative, wrote that most park restrooms have no internal heating, so water left in lines during a hard freeze can burst pipes and valves and cause thousands of dollars in damage. She said the city is starting early to finish maintenance before the first major freeze, as the weather remains unpredictable. [1]
People with questions about winter use of the facilities can contact the Logan City Parks Division or check the city website. [1] The city's parks page says the Parks Division will close park restrooms and shut off drinking fountains for the winter to protect water lines, with the upper restroom at Mt. Logan Park staying open year-round. [3]
