What is Steem Park?

Support!
This project will be created, constructed and maintained with 100% STEEM, SBD and cryptocurrency donations! Your upvotes and donations will help make this community garden a reality. In return, we have some amazing awards for you. What will your Steem and SBD get you?
(All deliverable prizes - noted by the envelope icon - will be delivered to your address of choice by the end of September, 2017.)
How to Support with STEEM & SBD?
Simple! Click the “Transfer” button in your Wallet. Direct your donation amount to @hitheryon and make sure to leave a short message in the “Memo” letting us know which reward you are donating for.
"I don’t have any STEEM or SBD, can I still support this awesome Crypto Park Project?" Absolutely! We accept Bitcoin, Ether and Litecoin, simply use the QR codes to donate, below:
Good For Community, Good for Steemit
This new neighborhood hotspot in the heart of Brooklyn will act as a colorful and dynamic billboard for the Steemit community. We @hitheryon believe that this physical design project is an important and exciting proof of concept for Steem and Steemit. We want to build something physical, lasting and impactful with cryptocurrency. Tens of thousands of people will visit Steem Park this summer. Our team will host Steemit workshops and events for the purpose of onboarding community members and activists to the Steemit platform (this includes park visitors, park representatives, volunteers, local residents and more!)
Upvotes and donations will translate directly to funding for furniture, events, park maintenance, beautification and restoration for a neighborhood in need. This project is about discovering new ways of using Steem for social good!
Schedule & Progress
Stay tuned for weekly funding and design progress updates. We’ll be posting updates and progress snapshots every step of the way. Later on, we’ll present how we can develop different sub-projects such as video documentation, exhibition, a book, and so on as we meet higher funding goals.

Let’s Do This
Let’s get physical and take this online community to the next level. We need YOUR upvotes, donations, re-steems and word of mouth to spread this project far and wide.
NOTE : 100% of the payout rewards from this post will go towards the realization of the Steem Park project. Thank you all so much for your support. We are thrilled to launch the fundraising phase of this project with you today and hope that these goals resonate with you and your vision for the future of Steemit. Steem on!
This is a really exiting project! I wish you the best of luck achieving it :) It is also really exciting to see a Kickstarter-type of project here in Steemit. I think this platform has a huge potential for projects like these, and it will be exciting to see how this turns out ;)
Anyway, I really like the idea of a physical space like this. Not only will it be a great ad campaign for Steemit, it will also be very nice for families and others who wish to use the park. I think it is great that local people can benefit from the project as well as Steemit :)
Steemit has so much potential here. As designers, we hope that this is just the beginning. Thank you for the thoughtful and supportive comment @valth :)
This is excellent. Good luck with the project!
Thanks for your support @robrigo!
No prob! If you all consider accepting Bitshares I'd be happy to donate some to the cause. :-) Otherwise when I get my next powerdown I'll shoot you a contribution.
Fantastic! As of now we don't have a means of accepting Bitshares, but will look more into that today (and keep you posted).
Awesome project! This will certainly raise more awareness for steem and get us to the next level. I wish you all the best with this project and will follow development on this closely.
Great! Thanks @tarekadam, stay tuned for more. Let's take Steem to the next level together!
Yes, sounds very good to me!
Interesting project, hope it works out.
Thanks @saiku we're working very hard behind the scenes to make sure that it does!
looks like an exciting project, great idea
Thanks @doitvoluntarily! Great to have your support :)
Wow, I really love this idea!
One question: If I want to buy one of the deliverable items, should I give my email address at the transfer comment?
@orenshani7, hello again! Our team just posted a restructuring of the rewards (below). A 50 SBD donation now gets you a 3D printed flower. Please let us know if that is okay with you!
https://steemit.com/steemitpark/@hitheryon/support-steemit-park-a-summer-garden-in-brooklyn-updated-rewards
So I am going to get the flower instead of the artwork? Cool. And you will ship it all the Way to Israel?
If that's okay with you! And yes, of course!
Okay so how can I send you my Mail-to address? Discord?
We'll be reaching out individually within a few weeks. (Flowers will be ready in a couple months!) We'll probably request that people send their mail address to us via steemit.chat or email (whichever they feel comfortable with).
Great question! Yes if you feel comfortable leaving your email address in the transfer memo, please do. Otherwise, you can message us directly on steemit.chat @hitheryon
Thank you for your support!
Thank you! Your generous donation represents a big leap towards making this project a reality. We're excited to design your art-print :)
+ we are now following you!
Very good idea and the best of luck going forward.
Thank you @team101 :-D
that's A-MA-ZING! I wish I have funds to support you.
Thank you Paolo! Your upvotes and positive comments are support in themselves! (In the coming weeks we'll be releasing ways that people can contribute who do not have funds on hand, stay tuned.)
This is cool! I'm looking forward to seeing how we as a community can contribute to the projects in other ways than donating money :) I'm sure there are many people that wish to help out, but don't have much money to spare.
It's great to see this brilliant project getting traction. Fantastic! Supported :)
Thank you so much for your support!! :)
CHAMPION! :-)
Thanks so much for your support @rok-sivante!! :)
