"We needed a smarter and well-considered design addressing a sense of privacy and aesthetic appeal - and having a bit of a rural appeal with the pergola." The cut-out figures will be in same style as the international symbols for toilets.
Carterton graphic designer Beks Farr and landscape architect Hamish Moorhead will be helping with the project.
Working group chairman Greg Lang said the final design was an amalgam of ideas, rather than a single design chosen from the entries submitted.
It became clear during workshop consultation that people believed Carrington Park, rather than the toilets, should be the "centre of attention", Mr Lang said.
Ideas for improvements included opening up the front of the park and making it more user-friendly and inviting, he said.
The makeover of the toilets was just one thing of many the group hoped to achieve.
"There's some great stuff and this is only going to be the start of it. I firmly believe the whole scope of Carterton is going to change.
"We've got some people offering to do stuff and the community is really getting involved."
It was hoped work on the project would begin towards the end of the year.
