The old Pioneer bus depot needs a playground - Landon's neighborhood project
We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a playground - we need $3,100 for materials.

For three years the neighborhood has asked for a playground. This year a group of 17 volunteers, including local mothers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the old Pioneer bus depot, but no funding.
We have received donated volunteer hours worth about $510, and the remaining cost is $3,100.
It will serve about 219 people, including elderly neighbors living alone. We'll hold a build day in October 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 $3,100 goes:
• Materials: $2,600
• Tools hire and delivery: $230
• Permits and inspections: $270
With deep gratitude,
Landon
