The restrooms at Cape Charles Central Park will be renovated over the next month, officials said.
Many have stopped for a few minutes to use the park’s restrooms.
The park hosts summer concerts, the Crabby Blues Festival, the DockDogs Classic, a playground, pickleball courts, tennis courts, cornhole, and horseshoes and provides residents with a place to take a leisurely walk in the sun.
Constructed in 2012, the restroom interiors will be completely renovated over the next month through a collaboration of Citizens for Central Park and the town’s public works department.
The walls and ceilings will be removed down to the studs and necessary repairs made to the building.
Then, new walls, ceilings, toilets, sinks, hand blowers, mirrors, and LED lighting will be installed.
Citizens for Central Park is providing all of the materials, through grants received from the Eastern Shore of Virginia Community Foundation and the Northampton County Tourism Infrastructure Committee.
The town’s public works department under Ralph Bowen is providing all of the labor.
Work began the week of Dec. 9 and will be completed by year-end.
