A skate park for the Liberty community hall: help our neighbors in Bakersfield

For ten years the neighborhood has asked for a skate park. This year a group of 24 volunteers, including a retired civil engineer, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Liberty community hall, but no funding. We have received donated volunteer hours worth about $570, and the remaining cost is $4,050. It will serve about 538 people, including children, seniors and people with disabilities. 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 $4,050 goes: • Materials: $3,050 • Permits and inspections: $130 • Safety equipment and signage: $440 • Tools hire and delivery: $430 Thank you for reading my story.
