For five years the neighborhood has asked for a skate park. This year a group of 15 volunteers, including the parish youth group, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Baobab Park, but no funding. We have received donated paint, and the remaining cost is $4,700. It will serve about 190 people, including children, seniors and people with disabilities. We'll hold a build day in March 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 $4,700 goes: • Safety equipment and signage: $440 • Materials: $3,800 • Tools hire and delivery: $460 Thank you for reading my story.
