ORIGINAL STORY: Fire has damaged another part of Santa Maria’s Armstrong Park.

The City of Santa Maria says the fire, which was reported shortly before 2 a.m. Monday, caused extensive damage to the wooden restroom building.

The structure is now closed while officials discuss options for repairs.

In a Tweet Monday morning, Santa Maria Fire said the restrooms were set on fire. The City says the investigation is ongoing.
