Pioneer Park needs a skate park - Scarlett's neighborhood project

Volunteers in Adelaide are raising $2,650 for a skate park at Pioneer Park.

For eight years the neighborhood has asked for a skate park. This year a group of 16 volunteers, including the parish youth group, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Pioneer Park, but no funding. We have received donated timber, and the remaining cost is $2,650. It will serve about 539 people, including elderly neighbors living alone. 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. All purchases will be made by two volunteers and logged publicly. Surplus funds will go to maintenance. Where the $2,650 goes: • Safety equipment and signage: $400 • Materials: $2,100 • Permits and inspections: $150 Thanks for being kind about this.

  1. Thank you all. We're at 21% now ($549). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward materials.
