The Acacia community hall needs a skate park - Gianna's neighborhood project
A community-led a skate park at the Acacia community hall that will serve 106 neighbors.
🇺🇸 Fresno, California, United States2,791 views
For eight years the neighborhood has asked for a skate park. This year a group of 24 volunteers, including a retired civil engineer, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Acacia community hall, but no funding.
We have received donated timber, and the remaining cost is $3,350.
It will serve about 106 people, including local farmers and market traders. We'll hold a build day in February 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 $3,350 goes:
• Materials: $2,850
• Tools hire and delivery: $220
• Permits and inspections: $280
I hope life is good to you.

Best of luck. This could happen to any of us. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless.
Thanks for sharing this, Gianna. Shared this with my family. All the best.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Gianna
It's all in the list in the story. materials is the big one at $2,850, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Thanks for asking.
sending good thoughts, Gianna. It takes guts to ask. Well done. God bless.
Thanks for sharing this, Gianna. This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Coimbatore so I could bring a meal. Take care.
Hope things get better soon, Gianna. Hope this works out for you. Blessings
Wishing you peace, Gianna. More neighborhoods should do this. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Santa Fe.
Thinking of you, Gianna. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor in Sacramento donated after I showed her your page. Love from Sacramento
Thinking of you and your family, Gianna. Looking forward to the next update.
