The City of Woodcreek soon will start construction on a public restroom facility at the popular Creekside Park, thanks to a $25,000 grant from the Lower Colorado River Authority and Pedernales Electric Cooperative.
The Community Development Partnership Program grant, along with $45,595 in matching funds from the City of Woodcreek, will help fund the town’s first permanent public restroom, providing a much-needed convenience for visitors to Creekside Park.
Woodcreek Mayor Jeff Rasco said the restroom is a major step forward for the growing community.
“With the help of previous grants, we’ve been able to add a beautiful playscape and make other improvements to Creekside Park, but those didn’t include restrooms,” Rasco said. “When my family and I first moved to Woodcreek, my son was one of just a few children in the neighborhood. Now there are more than 25 kids just on our block. This new grant helps us meet the needs of a growing community and ensures children have a safe, comfortable place to play.”
The new permanent restroom will replace a temporary portable toilet and will be ADA-compliant and accessible for all park visitors.
“There were two major needs we had to address with this project, providing an adequate facility for park goers and making sure it was fully accessible,” Rasco said. “This grant makes both possible. We don’t have any public restrooms in the city, so this project fills a long-missing public amenity, one that will greatly benefit Woodcreek residents and visitors.
