Why are the restrooms closed from November through March?
Restrooms and drinking fountains are winterized and closed through the colder months to prevent damage from freezing weather. With Texas weather, we realize that there occasionally are nice days in late February and early March, but we must protect equipment from late freezes each spring and your patience and understanding in protecting these assets is appreciated.
