For twelve years the neighborhood has asked for a playground. This year a group of 17 volunteers, including local mothers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Cedar vacant lot, but no funding. We have received donated a pump, and the remaining cost is $2,250. It will serve about 526 people, including young people who have nowhere safe to play. 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 $2,250 goes: • Materials: $1,500 • Permits and inspections: $105 • Safety equipment and signage: $200 • Tools hire and delivery: $445 If you're reading this, thank you. - Rowan
