New Bathrooms Coming to Horsham's Kohler Park

More modern restroom facilities will be installed at Kohler Park in Horsham later this year.

A new playground and pavilion will be in place by April 1 and updated bathrooms will replace those currently in use at Kohler Park in Horsham, officials said. 

The Horsham Township Council recently approved ordering the new restrooms, which the township's public works employees will install in September or October, Township Manager Bill Walker said. 

Besides being equipped with a four-foot stone veneer on the bottom and a siding look on the upper section of the exterior, Mark Hudson, Horsham's Park and Recreation director said the new facilities will come with another important feature: running water and sewer.

Because of the state grant, Walker said the township was required to purchase bathrooms "on state contract."

They will be built in Easton and transported to Horsham via tractor trailer, Walker said. 

"They drop it in place," Walker said. "We do the work."
