The amenities building is a universal building catering for all Queens Park visitors and patrons. Improved amenities for Queens Park were identified as a key priority following community consultation on the Queens Park Masterplan.
The male and female toilets are open every day for community use, the changerooms will be open based on scheduled bookings. The new building includes LED lighting so the building may be opened at night-time.
The building was designed to be as far as possible from the cycle track without encroaching on the adjacent playing fields. This includes a pavement threshold between the building and shared path to provide a visual indicator for those using the building that they are approaching a shared zone.
