Sports Ground Toilets in New South Wales

1,023 public toilets at sporting grounds are recorded in New South Wales, out of 2,099 nationally. That is more than any other state or territory — Victoria is next with 340. They sit in 576 named towns.

The heaviest concentrations are around Rooty Hill (21), Sutherland (12) and Barden Ridge (9). Those 3 account for 42 of the 1,023; a further 376 towns record exactly one.

Named listings include Lynwood Park on Rangers Road, Wombarra Rock Pool, Wyatt Park - Athletic Field and Waratah Park Basketball Stadium. Around Rooty Hill the listings run to Angus Memorial Park, Blacktown International Sports Park - Baseball Grand Stand and Harry Dennison Park.

Of the 1,023, 701 have parking on site, 595 are recorded as wheelchair accessible and 236 have drinking water. Set against the 7,651 listings in New South Wales, that is a 13% share, rising to 6% among the 24-hour listings.

595 of the 1,023 are recorded as wheelchair accessible — among them Manly Warringah Baseball Club - Aquatic Reserve and Lilli Pilli Oval. 7 are Changing Places facilities, with an adult-sized change table and a hoist — among them Majors Bay Reserve - Changing Places and Kevin Walsh Oval. 64 open with an MLAK key, the national Master Locksmiths Access Key — among them The Ridge Fields 9 & 10 and Canowindra Sports Complex. 66 need a key from the operator instead, which means finding whoever holds it before you arrive. 154 of the 1,023 have a baby-change table, and 147 of those sit at a site that is also wheelchair accessible.

158 of the 1,023 are published as open 24 hours — including Nundle Recreation Ground and Football Ground. 149 open in daylight hours only, 418 list variable hours and 39 follow the host venue's hours. Where set times are published, the earliest opening is 4:30am at Freshwater Beach Surf Life Saving Club and the latest closing is 11pm at Nambucca Heads Island Golf Club. 59 are shown as closed on Mondays. 577 publish no weekly hours at all, so treat those as unknown rather than open.

4 of the 1,023 charge for entry; the rest are free — the charging ones being Bylong Community Sports Ground and Ripples Leisure Centre. Ovals, courts, clubrooms and grandstands all land in this category. A good number are unlocked only for training nights and fixtures, so a weekday visit is the least reliable. All of the counts above are read from the National Public Toilet Map rather than checked in person.
