A skate park for the Acacia community hall: help our neighbors in Ibadan
A community-led a skate park at the Acacia community hall that will serve 581 neighbors.
🇳🇬 Ibadan, Oyo, Nigeria526 views
For five years the neighborhood has asked for a skate park. This year a group of 21 volunteers, including two retired carpenters, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Acacia community hall, but no funding.
We have received donated timber, and the remaining cost is $450.
It will serve about 581 people, including school children and their families. We'll hold a build day in August 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 $450 goes:
• Materials: $350
• Permits and inspections: $50
• Safety equipment and signage: $30
• Tools hire and delivery: $20
Thank you for reading my story.

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Ibadan
praying for you, Damilola. It takes guts to ask. Well done
