A playground: a volunteer-led effort in Cincinnati
A community-led a playground at Unity Primary School that will serve 232 neighbors.

For five years the neighborhood has asked for a playground. This year a group of 11 volunteers, including a group of teenagers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Unity Primary School, but no funding.
We have received donated a pump, and the remaining cost is $2,200.
It will serve about 232 people, including local farmers and market traders. We'll hold a build day in October and everyone is invited.
We're a small team, and every dollar will be spent in the open - I'll post receipts and progress photos.
Funds are spent only on materials, permits and safety equipment; all labor is volunteered.
Where the $2,200 goes:
• Materials: $1,500
• Permits and inspections: $240
• Safety equipment and signage: $145
• Tools hire and delivery: $315
With deep gratitude,
Sharon
