A skate park for Freedom Park: help our neighbors in Columbus

We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a skate park - we need $3,600 for materials.

Columbus
For three years the neighborhood has asked for a skate park. This year a group of 21 volunteers, including a retired civil engineer, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Freedom Park, but no funding. We have received donated a pump, and the remaining cost is $3,600. It will serve about 461 people, including local farmers and market traders. 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 $3,600 goes: โ€ข Materials: $2,900 โ€ข Permits and inspections: $270 โ€ข Safety equipment and signage: $160 โ€ข Tools hire and delivery: $270 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Amparo
