The Freedom vacant lot needs a playground - Oliver's neighborhood project

For three years the neighborhood has asked for a playground. This year a group of 21 volunteers, including a group of teenagers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Freedom vacant lot, but no funding. We have received donated volunteer hours worth about $1,250, and the remaining cost is $2,500. It will serve about 512 people, including children, seniors and people with disabilities. We'll hold a build day in August 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. Funds are spent only on materials, permits and safety equipment; all labor is volunteered. Where the $2,500 goes: • Permits and inspections: $290 • Materials: $2,000 • Tools hire and delivery: $210 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Oliver
