Let's build a skate park together in Tokyo

We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a skate park - we need $3,550 for materials.

For eight years the neighborhood has asked for a skate park. This year a group of 11 volunteers, including two retired carpenters, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Pioneer vacant lot, but no funding. We have received donated soil and plants, and the remaining cost is $3,550. It will serve about 423 people, including elderly neighbors living alone. 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 $3,550 goes: • Materials: $2,650 • Permits and inspections: $140 • Safety equipment and signage: $260 • Tools hire and delivery: $500 Thank you so much. - Yuna

    Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Yuna

    • Yuna NakajimaOwnerAnswerAddress verified

      Materials is $2,650 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks, that means a lot.

    Take care, Yuna. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Put this on a community board in Essen this morning. Take care.

      Is there anything that isn't money that would help Yuna?

      • Yuna NakajimaOwnerAnswerAddress verified

        Thank you. If you're in Tokyo I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Ask me anything else.
