Cedar Park needs a skate park - Rick's neighborhood project

We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a skate park - we need $2,450 for materials.

For five years the neighborhood has asked for a skate park. This year a group of 9 volunteers, including the neighborhood football club, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Cedar Park, but no funding. We have received donated soil and plants, and the remaining cost is $2,450. It will serve about 517 people, including children, seniors and people with disabilities. 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 $2,450 goes: • Materials: $1,500 • Permits and inspections: $260 • Safety equipment and signage: $250 • Tools hire and delivery: $440 Every share and every dollar helps.

    Changed my perspective

    I was going through a tough time and this person's support was invaluable. They didn't judge, just helped. That kind of genuine compassion is rare these days.

        A colleague of mine might know someone for this in North Brabant. I'll ask around and let you know.

          Hang in there, Rick. More neighborhoods should do this. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best.

            Hope things get better soon. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Madurai donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Madurai.
