Acacia Park needs a sensory garden for children with autism - Hudson's neighborhood project

For twelve years the neighborhood has asked for a sensory garden for children with autism. This year a group of 16 volunteers, including the neighborhood football club, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Acacia Park, but no funding. We have received donated a pump, and the remaining cost is $1,800. It will serve about 134 people, including young people who have nowhere safe to play. 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. Funds are spent only on materials, permits and safety equipment; all labor is volunteered. Where the $1,800 goes: • Materials: $950 • Permits and inspections: $120 • Safety equipment and signage: $370 • Tools hire and delivery: $360 Glad we found this place.
