From Bridge Road's shops to Swan Street and the MCG, knowing your nearest loo makes a Richmond day out easier.
Richmond packs a lot into the inner east — the Bridge Road and Swan Street shopping strips, the Victoria Street eat street, sporting crowds around the MCG, and the parks along the Yarra. Here's where to find a public toilet when you need one.

Richmond crams a lot into the inner east, and the busiest spots are the ones you'll most often need a toilet near. Around the MCG and Richmond Station, the parks and station facilities carry the load — especially the reserves along Swan Street, which is packed on any event day. Further into the suburb, Citizens Park in the north and Burnley Park toward the river both have public toilet blocks near their sportsgrounds and playgrounds.
For indoor, reliably-open options, the Victoria Gardens shopping centre on the Yarra side has accessible amenities and baby-change rooms through trading hours. The three shopping strips — Bridge Road, Swan Street and the Victoria Street eat street (Little Saigon) — are café- and restaurant-dense, so if you're a customer you're rarely far from a facility.
Richmond's defining feature is its proximity to the MCG. On big AFL and cricket days, tens of thousands of people pour through the suburb, and the public toilets around Swan Street and Yarra Park get very busy before and after the game. If you're headed to a match, the smart move is to go before you join the crowd, and to know your backup — the map's 🕐 Open Now filter shows what's open nearby as the crowds move.
Victoria Gardens is the most family-friendly stop, with baby-change and step-free access, and the larger parks have facilities near their playgrounds. Accessible cubicles are available across the shopping centres and stations, though older park and street blocks vary in fit-out — the ♿ Accessible filter is the quickest way to find a suitable one before you set out.
