At its June 3 meeting, the Fremont City Council approved a $1.7 million agreement with the Public Restroom Company to design, manufacture and install new prefabricated restrooms at three city parks: Niles Town Plaza, Central Park Kennedy Play Area and Central Park Sailway.
The upgrades are part of Fremont’s multi-phase Citywide Park Restroom Replacement and Remodeling Program, launched following the 2022 Parks and Recreation Master Plan, which identified aging restrooms as a top priority. The city plans to replace or remodel 16 restrooms across its park system by 2027.
Funded by a $15 million allocation from the city’s General Fund, the new facilities will replace restrooms that are outdated, non-compliant with ADA standards, and no longer meet current building codes.
The prefabricated restrooms will mirror the style of recently installed facilities at Lila Bringhurst Community Park and include features such as all-gender stalls, storage space and improved aesthetics. Niles Town Plaza’s restroom will have two stalls for women and one stall and urinal for men, while the Central Park facilities will include three stalls per gender and an additional all-gender restroom.
By opting for prefabricated construction, the city anticipates cost and time savings due to streamlined design and offsite building. Final installation is expected by December 2026.
The project is exempt from environmental review under CEQA, as it involves replacement without expanding capacity. Additional site improvements and utility work will be handled under a separate Public Works contract.
The city will use a cooperative purchasing contract through Sourcewell to expedite procurement and ensure competitive pricing.
