public facilities
Community-accessible service spaces
Public facilities are spaces or services maintained for community use: parks, libraries, restrooms, transit systems, government buildings.
The term carries legal weight from civil rights history, when "separate but equal" public facilities enforced racial segregation: The law prohibited discrimination in public facilities.
Today it often appears in accessibility contexts: The building's public facilities are wheelchair accessible.
