For eight years the neighborhood has asked for a skate park. This year a group of 10 volunteers, including local mothers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Maple health centre yard, but no funding. We have received donated timber, and the remaining cost is $3,800. It will serve about 524 people, including school children and their families. 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. All purchases will be made by two volunteers and logged publicly. Surplus funds will go to maintenance. Where the $3,800 goes: • Materials: $2,700 • Permits and inspections: $210 • Safety equipment and signage: $430 • Tools hire and delivery: $460 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Cora

Updates from Cora

  1. Small update. $1,580 so far, the first invoice got paid this week.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,287 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($697 in total) I met with the suppliers and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely. - Cora
