(WISH) — State parks in Indiana are flushing away the old and bringing in the new. Say “goodbye” to the 19th century — the parks are slowly but surely getting rid of their infamous wooden toilets.
The old restrooms, known as “pit toilets,” are being replaced with modern pre-cast concrete vault toilets.
According to Indiana State Parks, the units are being replaced a few at a time.
So far, three have been replaced. Guests at McCormick’s Creek, Brown County and Fort Harrison state parks can now enjoy the luxury of modern rest facilities.
