For twelve years the neighborhood has asked for a skate park. This year a group of 9 volunteers, including a group of teenagers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Maple health centre yard, but no funding. We have received donated volunteer hours worth about $1,150, and the remaining cost is $2,600. It will serve about 482 people, including school children and their families. We'll hold a build day in December 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 $2,600 goes: • Safety equipment and signage: $390 • Tools hire and delivery: $180 • Materials: $2,030 Every share and every dollar helps.
