A skate park for the Cedar community hall: help our neighbors in Cologne
We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a skate park - we need $3,150 for materials.
🇩🇪 North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany1,572 views
For eight years the neighborhood has asked for a skate park. This year a group of 17 volunteers, including the parish youth group, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Cedar community hall, but no funding.
We have received donated a pump, and the remaining cost is $3,150.
It will serve about 410 people, including local farmers and market traders. We'll hold a build day in November 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 $3,150 goes:
• Materials: $2,150
• Permits and inspections: $280
• Safety equipment and signage: $420
• Tools hire and delivery: $300
I hope life is good to you.

Thinking of you. Shared this with my family. Thinking of Cologne.
Thinking of you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care
Take care, Henry. Hope this works out for you. Thinking of Cologne.
rooting for you. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Cologne.
