Have You Seen The New Bathrooms in Medicine Park, Oklahoma?

Medicine Park has always been an incredibly special and unique spot in Oklahoma. But tourists from all over the world have only recently starting paying visits often. Thanks to the recent spike in tourism, the town and it's people have been able to use those funds towards improving parts of the place like businesses, homes and areas for festivals.

One project that has been waiting to be finished for quite some time has been the new addition to Bath Lake. While for years, the public bathrooms beside the firestation catered to visitors just fine, the town quickly realized they needed something closer and current with more visitors coming to swim in the lake.

Now, just in time for the annual Blues Ball Music Festival, they're putting on the finishing touches on the new bathrooms. And there's one last way they've decided to include the community in the project.

Unless you've been to Medicine Park recently, you may not know about some of their most recent projects. Many of these updates are done independently by property owners, like work to Airbnbs and renovations to individual properties.

But Medicine Park has had quite a few changes over the years, including adding and moving important areas. For instance, the new festival area, Hitchin' Post Park, has a new solid stage that sits just along the creek so swimmers can listen and watch the show while spending time in the water.

They've also added a few eloquent areas to spruce up the town, like the central "Y" near the entrance to the town from the highway.

One of the things they've been working to improve for quite some time is the brand new bathrooms set up now by Bath Lake.

For what seems like forever, the bathrooms looked like just a shell of a building at the top of the Bath Lake area. Just a big grey block with what seemed like no other plans to be used.

Now, thanks to the masons that have come in and did some work, the bathrooms now how a roof, a new sidewalk and steps leading to them, a shaded waiting area just outside of the doors and windows to ventilate the building all polished up with paint.

Now, the last step it seems like is to lay the traditional cobblestones along the building. Saturday, August 16, Medicine Park is inviting visitors to come and learn to lay cobblestone from the masters themselves.

The event is completely free and includes lunch. To learn more, click here.
