For ten years the neighborhood has asked for a playground. This year a group of 23 volunteers, including a group of teenagers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Union Park, but no funding. We have received donated a pump, and the remaining cost is $2,300. It will serve about 449 people, including young people who have nowhere safe to play. We'll hold a build day in February 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 $2,300 goes: • Materials: $2,050 • Safety equipment and signage: $105 • Permits and inspections: $145 With deep gratitude, Valentina
