Inglewood Place toilets

We have opened new toilets at Inglewood Place, to replace the ones removed from Te Aro Park.

About the project

New public toilets have been installed in Inglewood Place to replace the toilets that were in Te Aro Park.

We picked this location because it has high foot traffic and visibility to CCTV, and the new facility is well lit.

There are six toilets: two standard toilets, three accessible toilets with baby changing facilities, and one Changing Places facility. Two toilets are open 24/7, the other three toilets are open from 7am-11pm.

The Changing Places unit is the first to open in Wellington and it provides fully accessible bathroom facilities for people with complex needs.

Access to the Changing Places unit is via a key card that you can gain by registering with Changing Places New Zealand: Become A Member - Changing Places.

Background

The decision to remove the toilets at Te Aro Park is part of our commitment to improve safety and vibrancy in the central city. The design and location of the toilets created a secluded and unsafe space, making it a hotspot for anti-social behaviour. The toilets have also been a long-standing cause of hurt for mana whenua due to their proximity to Te Aro Pā, an ancestral site of great significance to the descendants of the Pā.
