For eight years the neighborhood has asked for a playground. This year a group of 23 volunteers, including a retired civil engineer, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Sycamore vacant lot, but no funding. We have received donated paint, and the remaining cost is $2,150. It will serve about 360 people, including elderly neighbors living alone. We'll hold a build day in November 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 $2,150 goes: • Materials: $1,400 • Permits and inspections: $210 • Safety equipment and signage: $260 • Tools hire and delivery: $280 Every share and every dollar helps. - Mia
