"I'm really proud of this project, slowly four years in progress... and so many friends and strangers-become-friends have put so much into this

for those that don't follow @dhzfietswerkplaats, I've committed all my overflow time to developing this since the previous squat burned in 2020.

This corner of the park was set aside via Stad in de Maak for community gardening in 2014, which we took over and slowly and collectively built this extension mostly with found material, on our own initiative. Last fall we asked the Wijkraad to fund the last stage on account of the valuable and well maintained community resource the space has become; essentially legalizing the space, and securing our place rent free on public land, for hopefully years and years to come."
