Few of Calgary’s many parks have public washrooms, which can certainly be a problem when you are exploring away from home with small kids. The parks below all have seasonal or permanent washrooms that you should be able to count on to be open. These are typically found next to spray parks/wading pools or in regional parks.
Community Centres can also be good places to find a washroom but their hours vary (parks next to community centres are not listed below).
