Great news!

About two weeks ago we received an email with fantastic news! The City of Cape Town has allocated Maynard Park a budget of R50,000 (under the ward allocation project)! The council has really been such a great help with our project so far, so this is really the cherry on the top.

We had a meeting with Pauline McConney and Charl Marais (from City Parks) on site on Friday and presented them with a budget.

We requested the following:

• A jungle gym with a slide, swings (suitable for older children), monkey bars and a roof/house
• Rocking horses (see my previous posts) - these are suitable for older children also
• A lapa (similar to the one in De Waal Park)
• Removal of the young palm in the center back of the park
• Benches
• A hose pipe (the irrigation system was installed on Thursday and it will have a hose attachment instead of taps)

A very big thank you to David Curran and also Brett Herron for all the help along the way. It really wouldn't have been possible without you.
