Cuyahoga Valley National Park closes 3 restrooms until further notice amid federal cuts

The Cuyahoga Valley National Park announced Wednesday that three restrooms will be closed until further notice.

A notice is posted on the door of each restroom with the address of the nearest open restroom. The closed restrooms and the nearest open ones are:

• Boston Store trailhead. Use the Boston Mill Visitor Center restroom one-tenth of a mile away.

• Horseshoe Pond trailhead. Use the Oak Hill trailhead restroom 2 miles away.

• Pine Lane trailhead. Use the Lock 29 trailhead restroom 1 mile away.

As the federal government makes cuts across agencies, the Cuyahoga Valley park saw three probationary employees let go this year and a freeze on the hiring of seasonal workers for the summer, the Beacon Journal previously reported.

An estimated 2.8 million visitors visited the park in 2023, the last year numbers were readily available.
