Let's build a skate park together in Parramatta
A community-led a skate park at Maple Primary School that will serve 494 neighbors.

For three years the neighborhood has asked for a skate park. This year a group of 15 volunteers, including a retired civil engineer, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Maple Primary School, but no funding.
We have received donated timber, and the remaining cost is $3,800.
It will serve about 494 people, including school children and their families. We'll hold a build day in June 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 $3,800 goes:
• Materials: $2,700
• Permits and inspections: $185
• Safety equipment and signage: $300
• Tools hire and delivery: $615
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Good luck. It takes guts to ask. Well done. It's not much but it's yours. Blessings.
Praying for you. Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care
thinking of you, Ruby. Great idea, hope you get there. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Rooting for you. This could happen to any of us. Sent it to 18 people at work. Take care
