How can most of these state parks open, yet Not have functioning rest rooms? (Not open restrooms)

  May 4, 2020 at 5:14 pm
  I think they are beginning to realize that problem and have started opening rest rooms at some parks. For example, Big Talbot Island just made that change, as did Amelia Island State Park.
