Let's build a skate park together in Chattanooga
We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a skate park - we need $2,150 for materials.

For three years the neighborhood has asked for a skate park. This year a group of 10 volunteers, including the neighborhood football club, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the old Maple bus depot, but no funding.
We have received donated a pump, and the remaining cost is $2,150.
It will serve about 454 people, including school children and their families. We'll hold a build day in January 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 $2,150 goes:
• Safety equipment and signage: $280
• Materials: $1,500
• Tools hire and delivery: $370
Thanks for being kind about this.

Best of luck, Daniela. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Take care.
Thinking of you, Daniela. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. All the best.
good luck, Daniela. More neighborhoods should do this.
