A playground: a volunteer-led effort in Fort Collins

Volunteers in Fort Collins are raising $3,700 for a playground at the old Jacaranda bus depot.

Fort Collins
For eight years the neighborhood has asked for a playground. This year a group of 28 volunteers, including a group of teenagers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the old Jacaranda bus depot, but no funding. We have received donated a pump, and the remaining cost is $3,700. It will serve about 449 people, including children, seniors and people with disabilities. We'll hold a build day in June 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 $3,700 goes: • Materials: $2,950 • Permits and inspections: $200 • Safety equipment and signage: $300 • Tools hire and delivery: $250 Glad we found this place.
