Swanley Park has been crowned the gold award in the Loo Of The Year Awards.
The aim of this award is to encourage the highest possible standards in all ‘away from home’ washrooms.
This award takes place across the UK and Ireland and is considered as an established benchmark of washroom provision and is compliant with national standards.
Each entry is judged by a fully qualified unannounced inspector against judging criteria that covers both male and female facilities as well as any baby changing, accessible, changing places, space to change and hygiene room facilities.
Commenting on the recent success George Brooker, Parks & Open Spaces Manager stated “This is a huge achievement for both Swanley Park and all of our staff who strive to keep our toilet facilities up-to-date, clean and tidy.
We are proud of this achievement and recognition for our toilet and changing places facilities. We are hoping to build on this recognition and retain this award in the next coming years.
In 2021 Swanley Park became one of the first parks in the local area to open a changing places facility.
This was also inspected and was awarded the platinum award in the accessible facilities category.
