A skate park for the Unity vacant lot: help our neighbors in Los Angeles
Volunteers in Los Angeles are raising $2,150 for a skate park at the Unity vacant lot.
🇺🇸 Los Angeles, California, United States3,754 views
For twelve years the neighborhood has asked for a skate park. This year a group of 20 volunteers, including the neighborhood football club, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Unity vacant lot, but no funding.
We have received donated volunteer hours worth about $1,200, and the remaining cost is $2,150.
It will serve about 204 people, including elderly neighbors living alone. 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.
Funds are spent only on materials, permits and safety equipment; all labor is volunteered.
Where the $2,150 goes:
• Materials: $1,550
• Tools hire and delivery: $370
• Permits and inspections: $230
I hope life is good to you.
