A FLUSH OF EXCITEMENT AT MINGUS PARK One of Coos Bay’s most beloved parks has received a meaningful upgrade that will benefit families, caregivers, and visitors for years to come. After years of relying on portable facilities, new permanent restrooms have been completed at Mingus Park. Thoughtfully located near the playground for convenient access, the restrooms will officially open to the public this Friday. While restrooms may not be the most glamorous park feature, they are essential. This long-awaited addition is family-friendly, fully ADA accessible, and designed to better serve the many people who spend time enjoying the park’s playgrounds, walking paths, and open spaces. The project represents a significant collaborative effort, with City staff playing a central role in bringing it to life. Public Works crews completed all design and construction site grading for the new facility and installed the electrical conduits, sewer lines, and sewer lift station. Their expertise and hands-on work were instrumental in making this improvement possible. In addition to the new restrooms, several related upgrades have enhanced the surrounding area. Drainage improvements have been installed to reduce ponding in the playground area—making soggy patches after rainy Oregon days a thing of the past. Fresh mulching material has also been placed throughout the playground to create a cleaner, safer, and more welcoming play space for children of all ages. These improvements reflect an ongoing commitment to maintaining parks that are safe, functional, and enjoyable for everyone. Parks are where birthday parties are celebrated, friendships are formed, imaginations run wild, and neighbors connect. Investing in foundational amenities like restrooms, drainage, and playground surfacing helps ensure that the community can continue making memories for years to come. The project was made possible through the generous support of grant partners, including Oregon Parks and Recreation Department, Judith Ann Mogan Foundation, The Reser Family Foundation, Pacific Power Foundation, First Interstate Bank, and the Bay Area Sportsman Association. Community patience during construction and continued support of public spaces have also played an important role in bringing the project to completion. The next time you visit Mingus Park, take a moment to appreciate the upgrades—especially the new restrooms. Sometimes the most practical improvements make the biggest impact.Photos from Coos Bay - City Government's post
