Anchorage Public Restroom Project
We want to hear from you!

The Municipality of Anchorage wants to learn more about where and what type of public restrooms are needed for residents, park users, and visitors. Our mental well-being is enhanced when we’re out with families and friends and know there’s a place “to go.” Let us know what you think!

1. Take the survey!
Tell us, what do you want in a
public restroom?

2. Use the interactive map.
Provide suggested locations where
public restrooms are needed around
Anchorage, Eagle River, and Girdwood.
