I dislike when this sort of disingenuous description is used. It cost a lot of money to do infrastructure work, and entities generally schedule and package work as a bundle, not as individual items. I am quite certain they are not spending $2m on bathrooms.
From [1]: "Additionally, the funds will cover new water, electrical and sanitary utilities services to Lincoln Way, as well as [ways] to improve the pedestrian path that would meet ADA access requirements.
The construction work, which will adjust the playground's irrigation and add new landscaping, is slated to begin next month."
