A community-led a skate park at the Maple vacant lot that will serve 594 neighbors.

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
