C. Renovated Restrooms:
Existing restrooms are outdated and in poor condition. Scope of work
would be to demolish the building, and reconstruct from the ground up
with new plumbing and finishes, doubling the capacity of each building.
All work would be of institutional quality and ADA compliant. Use of
solar energy and waterless urinals will also be considered.

skate park, and constructing new, state of the art, concrete facility at
new location within the park area.
