Roosevelt Island Visitor Trapped In Southpoint Park Bathroom - Says More Unlocked Outdoor Bathrooms Needed For Tourists

Roosevelt Island Historical Society President Judy Berdy shares message she received from a visitor complaining about the Southpoint Park bathrooms.

According to the visitor:

Day before yesterday I went to Roosevelt Island for a walk. I had to use the bathroom but half of them were closed. I got into one bathroom and then got locked inside because the door was jammed.

I tried to push the door but that was so hard to push The bathroom was so hot i was about to lose my sense.

Then I screamed and a guy came and opened the door by the third time.

Do you think its a best way to welcome our tourists? I know I'm from New York.

What if someone from outside of New York got this same situation????

I hope you will unlocks all the door from the back and repair your door.

Ms Berdy adds:

... a common complaint that half the bathroom at the Southpoint entrance are closed and locked.

With the weather warming up, and Cherry Blossom Festival tomorrow, expect alot of Roosevelt Island visitors looking for a bathroom to use.

When you gotta go, you gotta go.
