The key to the success of this park is that it has always been designed as a comprehensive park with full community facilities... not just a collection of play equipment. To achieve that, three areas are particularly stretching our remaining budget. Do you have a friend, colleague, relative or contact that might be able to help with donation of:

• Concrete materials and/or concreting skills.
• Soft fall (tan bark etc) - we need LOTS for each of the exciting play equipment zones.
• Native plants: shrubs, grasses - we need LOTS to truly make this the park the stunning design calls for.

We continue to be astounded by the generous offers that have come out of the woodwork along the way. So we are asking for your help. If you have a contact who might be able to make an offer in one of these three areas, that could make a critical difference to our remaining budget and enable us to deliver a park that will benefit the community for generations to come.
