A playground: a volunteer-led effort in Cleveland
A community-led a playground at the old Cedar bus depot that will serve 479 neighbors.
🇺🇸 Cleveland, Ohio, United States2,517 views
For three years the neighborhood has asked for a playground. This year a group of 19 volunteers, including the neighborhood football club, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the old Cedar bus depot, but no funding.
We have received donated timber, and the remaining cost is $2,500.
It will serve about 479 people, including children, seniors and people with disabilities. We'll hold a build day in August 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.
All purchases will be made by two volunteers and logged publicly. Surplus funds will go to maintenance.
Where the $2,500 goes:
• Materials: $1,050
• Permits and inspections: $410
• Safety equipment and signage: $440
• Tools hire and delivery: $600
Thanks for being kind about this.

You're not alone, Wei. I hope things turn around soon. My husband and I read this together
This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Half-Way Tree.
