Blog: Preparing for Next Season: Why Leisure Park & Campsite Shutdowns Are the Perfect Time to Improve Washrooms

Introduction

As the leisure park and campsite season winds down and gates close for the winter, many operators turn their attention to essential maintenance and renovations. While attractions, rides, and landscaping often take centre stage, washrooms are one of the most overlooked yet critical areas for improvement. These facilities are not only a key part of the visitor experience but also a major source of water consumption and potential waste. Shutdown periods present the ideal opportunity to assess your washrooms, repair leaks, modernise fixtures, and install sustainable solutions that will save money and resources when the park reopens next year.

Why Washroom Renovation Matters During Shutdowns

Washrooms in leisure parks endure heavy footfall during peak season, placing a significant strain on plumbing and water systems. Continuous urinal flushing, leaking taps, and outdated toilets can waste thousands of litres of water each day, resulting in significant utility costs over the season.

By tackling these issues during the off-season, operators can:

Reduce operating costs: Lower water and energy bills by upgrading to modern, efficient systems.
Enhance visitor experience: Clean, modern, and touch-free washrooms improve satisfaction and park reputation.
Future-proof facilities: Installing smart water-saving technologies ensures compliance with regulations and sustainability goals.
Prevent disruptions: Addressing leaks and inefficiencies now avoids costly breakdowns or closures during the busy visitor season.
