Making Outdoor Events Accessible: Washroom Facilities, Rest Areas, and Shelters
When organizing your event, plan for accessible washroom facilities. These facilities should be:
- At ground level
- Away from crowds and sound systems
- Convenient for people to reach them
Quiet areas can help people with mental health, sensory processing, and fatigue disorders feel more at ease. For this reason, ensure your event has some quiet rest areas away from the large crowds and noise.
Additionally, provide cool mist canopies or fans to help cool people and service animals during the hot weather. Tents are also a good way to protect people from the elements.
