Park Toilets in Northern Territory

Of the 9,681 public toilets in parks and reserves on the national map, 110 are in Northern Territory. That makes it the eighth-largest state total, behind New South Wales (2,713), Victoria (2,629), Queensland (2,075), South Australia (872), Western Australia (760), Tasmania (398) and Australian Capital Territory (124). They sit in 57 named towns.

The largest clusters are at Pine Creek (6), Berry Springs (5) and Flynn (5). Those 3 account for 16 of the 110; a further 29 towns record exactly one.

They include Lake Leanyer Recreational Park on Vanderlin Drive, Marlow Lagoon, Freds Pass Reserve - Lakeview Hall and Dripstone Cliffs - Casurina Coastal Reserve. Around Pine Creek the listings run to Umbrawarra Gorge Nature Park, Miner's Park and Heritage Park.

Of the 110, 61 have parking on site, 17 have drinking water and 67 are recorded as wheelchair accessible. That is 34% of every public toilet recorded in Northern Territory (327 in total), and 42% of those open 24 hours.

67 of the 110 are recorded as wheelchair accessible — such as Lakala Reserve and Bicentennial Park. 1 is a Changing Places facility, with an adult-sized change table and a hoist: Darwin Waterfront Changing Places. 1 opens with an MLAK key, the national Master Locksmiths Access Key. 16 of the 110 have a baby-change table, and every one of those sits at a site that is also wheelchair accessible.

59 of the 110 are published as open 24 hours — among them Joan Fejo Park and Ochre Pits - Tjorita National Park. 17 open in daylight hours only, 1 lists variable hours and 1 follows the host venue's hours. Where set times are published, the earliest opening is 6am at Marlow Lagoon and the latest closing is 10pm at Sanctuary Lakes Gunn. 18 publish no weekly hours at all, so treat those as unknown rather than open.

Every listing in this set is recorded as free to use. This is the largest category in the dataset by a wide margin, and it stretches from a single pan in a pocket park to a serviced block in a regional park. Many are locked at dusk even where no closing time is published. These numbers come straight from the National Public Toilet Map, so confirm anything you are relying on before you set out.
