As part of 5 locations in NYC set for pilot program of a new toilet model, Astoria is the destination for Queens. This will be installed at the Hoyt Playground where there are no toilets.

The Portland Loo toilet all made of metal with breathable on top will be installed at 1800 Hoyt Avenue N.

Each 9 feet station will have a toilet, locking door, washing sink, diaper changing table with blue LED light.
