Crews worked for about an hour Thursday dismantling the restroom facility at Clearwater's Crest Lake Park.

The seven, open-air bathrooms were built for about $35,000 as a new amenity for the park around 1980. It is estimated to cost that much to maintain them yearly.

The bathrooms were closed June 11, 2012 as a cost savings effort and to move the homeless who frequented the facility into social services.

The cost to destroy them is about $9,000.

The chain link construction fence surrounding the former facility is all that remains.
