The Abel Reserve public bathrooms are the only public accessible bathrooms located in Revesby. Many of the businesses and cafes around Revesby have restricted movement and tight spaces in their bathrooms, this public toilet being on of the only options. They are located in the carpark of Revesby station near the bus station and public phone. 

The bathrooms are unisex and accessible with rails and lots of space to move around. At my time of visiting (Friday 13 June 2025 approx 1pm)  the bathrooms were not very clean, I have no knowledge of who is responsible for maintaining them or how regularly they are maintained. As these are often the bathrooms that are next available for locations in Revesby they are not ideal. Nearby are the train station bathrooms which are significantly better maintained, however are under lock and key by staff.

As these bathrooms are located inside the carpark of Revesby station there are lots of accessible parking spaces nearby. There is also the main carpark nearby as well as many other public spaces available in the surrounding area.
