Most worrying for parents was that a group of kids in the playpark discovered human waste in the bushes next to where they were playing.
Since the closure of the public toilets in the village residents have been concerned that people are using bushes and car parks as loos and fear the impact it will have on health and hygiene.
Community council secretary Fionnadh Ratchford said: "There is a high volume of traffic that passes through the village and now we are in the summer season there are tourists in the area - they need facilities.
"We want people to enjoy themselves here, but there are no public toilet facilities. Rural villages need these facilities.
"We're going to look at what can be done at our next community council meeting. Ideally we'd like to see the toilets open again - human needs should be a core service. We would urge the council to bite the bullet and fix the toilets."
The public toilets in Barrhill were closed at the back end of last year and the problem has become a major issue. Throughout the year there can be a number of contract workers in the village, who have no toilet facilities to use.
Councillor John McDowall said: "I'm aware it is a problem, but it is a matter for the police as what the people are doing is against the law." He said it was possible the community council could run the toilets themselves, but warned costs might be too much.
In Colmonell, The Boar's Head takes part in the comfort scheme since the public toilets were shut there. The council pays the premises to let people use their toilet facilities.
But The Boar's Head is the only premises that accepted the proposal when the council got in touch with establishments earlier this year.
Police insist they do not tolerate people urinating in public and will not accept the fact that there are no facilities in a village as an excuse.
They also want the council to reconsider their decision.
