Petawawa Comfort Station Commemorative Boardwalk Program - Get on Board!
The Comfort Station is a legacy project recognizing the 25th anniversary of the amalgamation of the Town of Petawawa. The history of Petawawa dates back over 150 years with the incorporation of the Township in 1865. The Village of Petawawa was incorporated in 1961, however in 1997, the Township and Village were amalgamated to create the Town of Petawawa.
The Comfort Station is situated along the Algonquin Trail, the former CP rail line, and was built as a modern replica of a train station platform. The main feature of the amenity is the fully accessible washrooms open year-round. Inside is a small rest area, office, and Visitor Information Centre. The Visitor Information Centre is stocked with local maps and friendly staff happy to share information about the community, amenities, local events, and programs.
Visitor Information Centre Hours: Open Wednesday - Sunday from 11AM - 6PM (Closed Monday and Tuesday)
Washroom Hours: Open 7 days a week from early morning to late evening.
As part of the Legacy Project, a commemorative boardwalk was installed around the outside of the building. This boardwalk provides an ideal opportunity for families and friends of Petawawa to become part of the story of this project. The purchase of a board with a plaque is $200.00 + HST. Space to participate is limited to the number of boards within the boardwalk.
