For three years the neighborhood has asked for a skate park. This year a group of 19 volunteers, including two retired carpenters, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the old Liberty bus depot, but no funding. We have received donated volunteer hours worth about $970, and the remaining cost is $2,500. It will serve about 314 people, including young people who have nowhere safe to play. We'll hold a build day in January 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: • Materials: $2,050 • Permits and inspections: $135 • Safety equipment and signage: $165 • Tools hire and delivery: $150 Every share and every dollar helps. - María

    take care. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care.

      is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for María

      • María R. DomínguezOwnerAnswer

        Materials is $2,050 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Ask me anything else.

      Wishing you the best. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Alcalá de Henares.

        Hope it all works out, María. This could happen to any of us. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Laredo
