The Acacia vacant lot needs a skate park - Akira's neighborhood project
We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a skate park - we need $2,350 for materials.
🇯🇵 Japan2,334 views
For three years the neighborhood has asked for a skate park. This year a group of 13 volunteers, including local mothers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Acacia vacant lot, but no funding.
We have received donated tools, and the remaining cost is $2,350.
It will serve about 468 people, including young people who have nowhere safe to play. We'll hold a build day in November 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 $2,350 goes:
• Materials: $1,900
• Tools hire and delivery: $370
• Permits and inspections: $80
I hope life is good to you.

Wishing you the best, Akira. Hope you get there
Best of luck. Great idea, hope you get there. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day
So sorry you're going through this, Akira. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Addis Ababa.
Praying for you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. God bless
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Ankara.
More neighborhoods should do this. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Sapporo.
thinking of you and your family, Akira. Hope this works out for you. Blessings.
