As part of a proposed $185 million bond issued to help revitalize our parks, Park & Rec head cheese Yomi Agunbiade, announced that a major emphasis of the bond measure will be bringing in new bathrooms. The reason for such a decision is the obvious third-worldyness of current park bathrooms. Twenty points for Gryffindor.

Yumi Yomi says the game plan is to bring in the same kind of bathroom that was recently installed in the panhandle. This plush bathroom includes a skylight, brown tiles, metal restroom doors, and couches with a magazine rack to hang out in while waiting for a stall. It's main feature, however, is that there are no doors into the bathroom so they'll be visible from the outside. According to the theory, this will prevent vandalism, graffiti, and drug usage as everyone can spy in and see what's going on. We're not quite sure that'll work, but whatever.

Oh, total cost of each bathroom? $400,000 each, which according to our guesses is still a little less than some of those new condos being built but not by much.

The proposed bond measure, which will probably be on next February's ballot, will also include money for things like seismic retrofitting, the revamping of rec centers, and improvements to the waterfront. According to some study, it'll cost SF $1.7 billion dollars to completely pimp up the parks but for obvious reasons, we don't have no $1.7 billion lying around.
