Largo: More restrooms needed for zip line

LARGO — A parking and restroom analysis for an aerial obstacle and zip line course at Highland Recreation Complex showed that, as city officials expected, restroom capacity is lacking.

City Manager Henry Schubert told commissioners at a workshop late last month that it would be up to Bradenton-based TreeUmph! Adventure Course to pay up to $20,000 to build more restrooms to accommodate the influx of people expected to come with the opening of the park.

The original plan was to use the outdoor restrooms for the tennis courts and baseball fields at the complex, but those facilities are at capacity, according to the report. The report suggests adding another restroom building mirroring the existing structure.

The building division is looking at options to add more toilets in the existing building at a "fairly reasonable cost," Schubert said.

TreeUmph! owner Aaron Corr said this week that he is waiting on the city to get back to him with that information. "Then we will figure out where to go from there," he said.
