A skate park for the Maple health centre yard: help our neighbors in San Francisco

Volunteers in San Francisco are raising $3,900 for a skate park at the Maple health centre yard.

For eight years the neighborhood has asked for a skate park. This year a group of 28 volunteers, including the parish youth group, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Maple health centre yard, but no funding. We have received donated paint, and the remaining cost is $3,900. It will serve about 94 people, including school children and their families. We'll hold a build day in July 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 $3,900 goes: • Materials: $3,150 • Permits and inspections: $200 • Safety equipment and signage: $300 • Tools hire and delivery: $250 Thanks for being kind about this.
