A skate park for Jacaranda Primary School: help our neighbors in Kingston

We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a skate park - we need $300 for materials.

Kingston
For five years the neighborhood has asked for a skate park. This year a group of 24 volunteers, including a group of teenagers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Jacaranda Primary School, but no funding. We have received donated tools, and the remaining cost is $300. It will serve about 83 people, including school children and their families. We'll hold a build day in April 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 $300 goes: • Tools hire and delivery: $75 • Permits and inspections: $115 • Safety equipment and signage: $110 Thanks for reading all this.
