Construction of the Comfort Station
The city Department of Parks and Recreation started construction on a comfort station for the northwest corner of Washington Market Park in August 2009. The facility will include bathrooms for men and women, and is scheduled to be completed in spring of 2011.

During construction, the main entrance to the park on Greenwich Street at Duane Street will be closed. The temporary entrance is now located at Reade Street.

The community garden is closed for the period of construction, and will reopen with a newly configured and improved layout as well as a more up-to-date water system, fresh soil and better delineated garden beds.
