All NPS facilities are ADA accessible. With that said, I'm hesitant during this import to tag ALL features as such. We may have the rogue toilet at the top of a mountain (Le Conte Pit Toilet?) that is not. I'd have to think hard to find one in our park that is not.. On the flip, with the assumption that all federal facilities are ADA accessible, does that merit the tag? Perhaps, tagging those few that aren't with "ADA=NO" (e.g.) would be easier and more efficient, and perhaps a topic for talk-us...I'd think a DA would like to know which facilities ARE NOT accessible, as opposed to wading through thousands of features that are tagged as "yes they are".
At any rate, I'd like to shelve that for another project: given the already large file size, I think adding ADA tags warrant its own "import". So that makes two new (shelved) projects you've identified out of this import! But no, my shop does not capture ADA compliance in GIS data, again referring to.all Federal Facilities are (should be) ADA accessible. We do publish ADA accessible locations in our local campsite maps. Ultimately I'm going to have to get an official answer from somewhere else within the agency on tagging or attributing GIS data with ADA compliance, so this answer DOES NOT reflect the official position of the NPS on that topic.

I'm looking at the location you specified in that file, and cannot detect any building corner nodes that are tagged as toilets. Perhaps I am still missing something? The building corner nodes do indeed seem to be fixed now. Looking pretty good! I suggest you can probably tag toilets:wheelchar=yes and wheelchair=yes on some features... that might be in your source database?
