A skate park for the old Pioneer bus depot: help our neighbors in Kraków

We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a skate park - we need $400 for materials.

Kraków
For ten years the neighborhood has asked for a skate park. This year a group of 17 volunteers, including a retired civil engineer, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the old Pioneer bus depot, but no funding. We have received donated volunteer hours worth about $350, and the remaining cost is $400. It will serve about 533 people, including local farmers and market traders. We'll hold a build day in May 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 $400 goes: • Permits and inspections: $70 • Tools hire and delivery: $135 • Safety equipment and signage: $195 Thank you so much.

Updates from Maria

  1. Update from Kraków: I made the first payment toward safety equipment and signage. We're at 63% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  • best of luck. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'm in teaching myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless

    • So sorry you're going through this, Maria. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.

      • You're not alone. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Üsküdar.

        • Hope it all works out, Maria. This could happen to any of us. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Kraków.

          • It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Kraków
