Public restrooms in Phoenix

Where to find public restrooms in Phoenix

Phoenix has relatively few dedicated street toilets, so the most reliable restrooms are inside everyday public places. Downtown, dependable free options include the Burton Barr Central Library, CityScape and the Arizona Center, Heritage Square, the Phoenix Convention Center, and the lobbies of the big downtown hotels. The malls - Biltmore Fashion Park and Desert Ridge Marketplace - and Phoenix Public Library branches across the city are reliable too.

Public restrooms in Phoenix's parks

Phoenix's big parks have public restrooms: Papago Park (home to the Phoenix Zoo and the Desert Botanical Garden), Encanto Park, Steele Indian School Park, and South Mountain Park - one of the largest municipal parks in the United States. Restrooms are usually open during daylight hours.

Beating the heat: air-conditioned restrooms and cooling stations

Phoenix summers are extreme, so indoor, air-conditioned restrooms are the comfortable - and safest - choice. The libraries, malls, museums and large stores all offer cool, clean restrooms. In the hottest months the city and partners also run a network of cooling and hydration stations (at libraries, community centers and churches) where you can get out of the heat and find a restroom and water.

Are there free public toilets in Phoenix?

Yes. The Burton Barr Central Library and other library branches, park restrooms, museums and malls are all free. Hotel lobbies and large stores are free to use too, and a small purchase is sometimes expected at cafes and restaurants.
