The Portland Loo

These need to be in every city across America.

We have been pleased with the performance of the Portland Loo. We look forward to adding more in the near future.

I personally have heard nothing but good things from the public about our loo after it went in, particularly related to that being a model for us going forward.

It was a big change for us to go from stick built/traditional restrooms to a Loo and there was some hesitancy initially. Low and behold, it now is just a part of our community, and the overall design, functionality and purpose of the Loo works really well for us.

Mostly what I hear about it now is when people say – we need one of those ‘here’ (pointing to somewhere else in town other than the Jay Pearson Neighborhood Park).

In fact, we hope to replace existing restrooms in 2 other parks with Loo’s hopefully in the next couple of years.

“I’m thrilled for all the folks downtown that need it and will use it.”

“I’m convinced Portland is the only city in the U.S., and maybe the world, that celebrates the opening of bathrooms.”

“The freestanding restroom is durable and designed well to integrate into most environments.”
