A skate park: a volunteer-led effort in San Francisco

For twelve years the neighborhood has asked for a skate park. This year a group of 9 volunteers, including the neighborhood football club, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Acacia Park, but no funding. We have received donated a pump, and the remaining cost is $950. It will serve about 373 people, including young people who have nowhere safe to play. 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. All purchases will be made by two volunteers and logged publicly. Surplus funds will go to maintenance. Where the $950 goes: • Tools hire and delivery: $420 • Safety equipment and signage: $270 • Permits and inspections: $260 Thanks for reading all this. - Mateo
