Upgraded at considerable expense I'm sure just a few years ago. The other two pavilions at either end of the park are still soldiering on with just normal upkeep and repair. All examples of mid 50's rustic park architecture. The concrete planter with the pine tree in it on the left is the foundation of the previous building by the way.

As anyone in the US who's above room temperature knows most if not all
of the individual states have serious budget problems.  I mean seriously
the Government doesn't know how it's going to pay for all it's
promises.  Which makes me wonder about this.

This, I have to admit, aesthetically pleasing structure, replaces a
perfectly serviceable rustic pavilion that contained, a covered dining
deck, concession stands, changing rooms and rest rooms.  This structure
contains just, well, composting toilets, in other words it's an
overgrown outhouse.

If it's like a couple of facilities I'm familiar with, that "rustic pavilion" was not perfectly serviceable. It was in dire need of repair and/or replacement.

And the cost of repairing the existing plumbing would have been more than the cost of building the new structure for the composting toilets, which should also have lower ongoing maintenance costs.

That one looks wheel-chair accessible. Was the old one?

Don't lose heart!  They might want to cut it out, and they'll want to avoid a 
lengthily search.
