Riverview Park will have permanent restrooms sometime in 2024 under a new project between Des Moines and Polk County governments.

Why it matters: The park has become a big deal in recent months following the completion of a $4 million rehab that includes a new 6,000-seat outdoor concert venue.

Driving the news: Polk County Supervisors approved $350,000 this month to build a cul-de-sac on Corning Avenue, near the park's east entrance and where the restrooms will be located.

State of play: The number of restrooms, or lack of, is the top gripe about DSM park's system.

Bottom line: Hold those sweet cheeks.
