Can anyone explain to me why it costs $1 Million to $1.3 Million dollars to build a play structure?
Can anyone tell me how much money was raised by Fort Natomas dot org?
No, I cannot tell you why it is so expensive to build an amazing play structure. However, I can tell you that city money is allocated for certain things. The money used to build this park could not have been spent on things like police or transportation.
I was there for 11 hours today- It is an amazing experience! Be sure to stop by and help this week. The childcare is great, the food is great, and the community spirit tops it all! Come on out!
