Where Are You?
Bangalow is tiny — you can see from one end to the other. Four toilet locations cover the village centre, park, pool, and showground. Everything is within a 5-minute walk.
Cafes on Byron Street

Bangalow Markets (4th Sunday)
Byron Street toilets + overflow
Monthly A&I Hall Markets. Byron Street is the nearest permanent facility. Portables sometimes added.
The Bangalow Markets at the A&I Hall are the region's best community market — 4th Sunday of every month. Hundreds of stalls, thousands of visitors. Byron Street toilets are the nearest, but expect queues on market mornings. Heritage Park is a quieter backup option.
Heritage Park
Heritage Park toilets
Quiet park setting near the village centre. Accessible facilities. Good backup on market days.
Heritage Park is a small green space just off the main street. The toilet block is well-maintained and usually less busy than Byron Street, especially on market days when the main street facilities get hammered. Accessible and clean.

Heritage 25m pool with change rooms. Open during pool hours. Community institution.
Bangalow Pool is a 25m heritage community pool — unheated but swimmable most of the year in the subtropical climate. Change rooms and toilets available during opening hours. A local institution run by community volunteers.
Events at the Showground
Showground toilets
Basic facilities available during events and general access. Annual show and various festivals.

Dinner at Bangalow Hotel
Byron Street (30 sec walk)
The heritage pub is a Bangalow institution. Public toilets are steps away on Byron Street.
The Bangalow Hotel (built 1900s) is the social centre of the village — pub meals, craft beer, live music weekends. It has its own customer toilets, and the Byron Street public facility is literally 30 seconds walk. You won't get caught short in Bangalow village.
