Gender-neutral changing room
Definition
A private, lockable single-occupancy room — separate from the restroom — sized for changing into or out of swim clothes, usable by anyone regardless of gender identity, family configuration, or accessibility need.
Gender-neutral changing rooms remove the awkward 'where do I change my 6-year-old' question that gendered locker rooms create. They are increasingly standard at municipal splash pads and required at any new facility built with federal park grant money.
A functional changing room includes a bench, hooks at multiple heights, a small mirror, a non-slip floor, and a lock with an exterior 'occupied' indicator. Some pair the changing room with a private outdoor rinse shower.
