Park Toilets in Western Australia

Of the 9,681 public toilets in parks and reserves on the national map, 760 are in Western Australia. That makes it the fifth-largest state total, behind New South Wales (2,713), Victoria (2,629), Queensland (2,075) and South Australia (872). They sit in 419 named towns.

The largest clusters are at Kings Park (8), Rockingham (7) and Bunbury (6). Those 3 account for 21 of the 760; a further 234 towns record exactly one.

The list takes in Warner Glen Recreation Area 2 on Warner Glen Road, Quarry Park Ablutions - Meadow Springs, Orchard Avenue Park and Iluka Foreshore Park. Around Kings Park the listings run to Jarrah, Botanic Gardens and Marri - Kings Park.

Of the 760, 523 have parking on site, 160 have drinking water and 526 are recorded as wheelchair accessible. That is 27% of every public toilet recorded in Western Australia (2,767 in total), and 24% of those open 24 hours.

526 of the 760 are recorded as wheelchair accessible — such as Manmade Beach Playground and Cnr Glover And Dunn Sts. 14 are Changing Places facilities, with an adult-sized change table and a hoist — among them Mary Carroll Park - Eudoria Street and Jo Wheatley All Abilities Play Space. 10 open with an MLAK key, the national Master Locksmiths Access Key — among them Parnham Reserve and Deep Water Point Reserve. 7 need a key from the operator instead, which means finding whoever holds it before you arrive. 133 of the 760 have a baby-change table, and 127 of those sit at a site that is also wheelchair accessible.

324 of the 760 are published as open 24 hours — among them Poddy Shot and Recreation Site. 172 open in daylight hours only, 32 list variable hours and 2 follow the host venue's hours. Where set times are published, the earliest opening is 5am at Beaton Park and the latest closing is 11pm at Beecroft Park. 17 are shown as closed on Mondays. 233 publish no weekly hours at all, so treat those as unknown rather than open.

2 of the 760 charge for entry; the rest are free: Munglinup and Hamersley Gorge. 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.
