West Beach Bathhouse at Green Lake State Park

Beardsley Architects + Engineers designed a new bathhouse at Green Lakes State Park to replace the historic restroom that no longer met visitor needs. The original structure remains and will be repurposed in a future phase.

Located for direct beach access, the bathhouse has two wings with men’s and women’s restrooms, each accommodating five patrons and providing accessible stalls and changing rooms. Two gender-neutral family restrooms are also included. A covered walkway connects the wings, offering views of the beach and Green Lake, with skylights to bring in natural light.

The design reflects the architectural style of other park buildings, featuring board and batten siding and stone accents for durability and easy maintenance. Sized to echo an early 20th-century bathhouse once on the same site, the facility operates year-round, with in-slab heating and efficient ventilation. Central mechanical spaces and exterior surveillance enhance maintenance and safety.

Site improvements include new accessible walkways, native landscaping, and connections to parking and beach areas.
