The Loo of the Year Awards’ team recently presented the Royal Great Windsor Park with their Highly Commended Award for their high-quality public toilets.
Windsor Park is one of 100s of venues where the staff acknowledge the need for their ‘away from home’ washrooms to offer high standards regarding accessibility, hygiene, repair and facilities. The Loo of the Year recognition is a benchmark for exceptional provision.
Becky and Charles Wall, who run the Loo of the Year quality framework, travelled to Windsor recently to present the award to the staff and estate for all their work in creating sanitary and accessible public toilets.
Becky said: “We met Kieran Baggott at the Saville Garden Visitor Centre to present a certificate to him, as the Great Windsor Park was a finalist and had been awarded a Highly Commended in the Individual Washroom Cleaner for England.
“We were impressed by how seriously this estate takes away-from-home facilities. We were shown the family toilets, which had both a disabled access toilet within the space and then individual toilet rooms, with two toilets in one for adults and a training toilet for little ones. Each one also has a baby changing wall-mounted unit. The sinks all had sensor taps and also low-level sinks for the children to be able to reach to wash their hands easily too.”
The Great Windsor Park had four entries in the 2024 Loo of the Year Awards for toilet facilities on their site. Saville Garden Visitor Centre received a Platinum Plus status, The Heather Garden received a Platinum, The Adventure Playground at the Saville Garden a Platinum Plus and Virginia Water Pavillion, which received a Platinum status.
The Great Windsor Park is part of the Windsor Estate of King Charles III. It is an ancient royal landscape with forests, lakes, gardens and landscapes. It contains historical monuments, rare wildlife and collections of plants and trees. Over 6000 hectares of stretching for 10 miles from Windsor Castle to Camberley. It was the King himself who recommended that his estates should consider entering the Loo of the Year Awards.
