For five years the neighborhood has asked for a skate park. This year a group of 30 volunteers, including a group of teenagers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Maple vacant lot, but no funding. We have received donated timber, and the remaining cost is $350. It will serve about 594 people, including school children and their families. We'll hold a build day in October 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 $350 goes: • Materials: $280 • Permits and inspections: $15 • Safety equipment and signage: $25 • Tools hire and delivery: $30 With deep gratitude, Asif
