For three years the neighborhood has asked for a skate park. This year a group of 13 volunteers, including local mothers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Union health centre yard, but no funding. We have received donated soil and plants, and the remaining cost is $1,950. It will serve about 312 people, including school children and their families. We'll hold a build day in November 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 $1,950 goes: • Safety equipment and signage: $320 • Materials: $1,250 • Tools hire and delivery: $380 Thanks for being kind about this. - Hamza

              Best of luck. Shared this with my family. After 7 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
