A skate park for Harmony Primary School: help our neighbors in Fresno
A community-led a skate park at Harmony Primary School that will serve 390 neighbors.
🇺🇸 United States2,564 views
For ten years the neighborhood has asked for a skate park. This year a group of 28 volunteers, including a group of teenagers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Harmony Primary School, but no funding.
We have received donated tools, and the remaining cost is $2,700.
It will serve about 390 people, including young people who have nowhere safe to play. 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.
All purchases will be made by two volunteers and logged publicly. Surplus funds will go to maintenance.
Where the $2,700 goes:
• Safety equipment and signage: $250
• Materials: $2,200
• Tools hire and delivery: $250
Thank you so much.

Good luck, Douglas. Hope you get there. It's not much but it's yours. Take care.
Take care, Douglas. Gave what I could, wish it was more. All the best!
Keep going. Shared this with my family. Put this on a community board in São Paulo this morning. All the best.
