West 61st Street Comfort Station

West 61st Street Comfort Station

The renovation of the West 61st Street Comfort Station consisted of brand new Men’s and Women’s restrooms. Built into a slope inside the perimeter wall of the park, the building’s roof is a plaza off Central Park West. It has not been renovated since 1980 and is closed in the Winter because it is unheated.

Work on the West 61st Street Comfort Station included upgrading mechanical, plumbing, and electrical infrastructure, permitting it to be open year-round, repairing water damage and installing new waterproofing, making the restroom ADA-accessible, replacing doors and windows, restoring the stone exterior, and reconstructing the roof and plaza including refurbishing lights and replacing benches.
