Too often, visitors of Lonesome Pine Park in Acres Green, CO, are compelled to use nature's restroom—the trees—as there are no public facilities available. This not only creates a public health concern, but it also tarnishes the beauty of our beloved park. Installation of public restrooms is an urgent need to address hygiene and individual dignity. According to the National Recreation and Park Association, parks should have sufficient restrooms depending on the number of visitors to maintain a healthy and comfortable environment (Source: NRPA). As a frequent visitor, I find this issue deeply troubling and I believe many of you share the same concern.

Providing public restrooms will not only maintain the cleanliness of the park but also cater to the convenience of the visitors during their stay. The addition of restrooms would add greatly to park amenities, critical for both children and adults alike, and reduce the strain on the natural environment. Let's take this opportunity to urge our local authorities to install public restrooms in Lonesome Pine Park to upgrade our experience and maintain the park's natural beauty. Please sign this petition to contribute to making our park a more pleasant and hygienic place for all.
