Let's build a skate park together in Gangnam
Volunteers in Gangnam are raising $2,700 for a skate park at Liberty Primary School.
🇰🇷 Gangnam, Seoul, South Korea2,965 views
For eight years the neighborhood has asked for a skate park. This year a group of 18 volunteers, including a retired civil engineer, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Liberty Primary School, but no funding.
We have received donated timber, and the remaining cost is $2,700.
It will serve about 377 people, including local farmers and market traders. We'll hold a build day in October 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 $2,700 goes:
• Materials: $1,850
• Permits and inspections: $180
• Safety equipment and signage: $260
• Tools hire and delivery: $410
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Praying for you, Gun-woo. Hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Lagos.
Thanks for sharing this, Gun-woo. Great idea, hope you get there. Love from Pune.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Gun-woo?
Wishing you the best. Hope this works out for you. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Blessings.
How is Gun-woo doing now?
Good luck. Your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out
Thinking of you. Your post was clear and honest. Put this on a community board in Mandaue this morning. Thinking of Gangnam.
Hope it all works out. This could happen to any of us. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Gangnam
so sorry you're going through this. More neighborhoods should do this. Don't be hard on yourself for asking
Rooting for you, Gun-woo. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
