Sycamore Park needs a skate park - Isaiah's neighborhood project

Volunteers in Swansea are raising $2,500 for a skate park at Sycamore Park.

For ten years the neighborhood has asked for a skate park. This year a group of 22 volunteers, including a group of teenagers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Sycamore Park, but no funding. We have received donated a pump, and the remaining cost is $2,500. It will serve about 535 people, including young people who have nowhere safe to play. 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 $2,500 goes: • Permits and inspections: $185 • Tools hire and delivery: $510 • Materials: $1,805 With deep gratitude, Isaiah

Updates from Isaiah

  1. Update from Swansea: the first invoice got paid this week. We're at 7% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($159 in total) I made the first payment toward permits and inspections. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  3. We're at 4% thanks to 2 of you. the plan for tools hire and delivery is now scheduled. More news soon.
