The property contains an exquisite 1957 Thomas Church Garden and a 1912 house. Since then, the Recreation and Parks Department Parks staff have been assigned to the garden, working there two half days per month. Volunteers are working with Parks staff to do regular and deferred maintenance of the garden.
Much work remains to be able to open the park to the public.
Update Recreation and Parks Commission approved guidelines for use of the garden in March, 1999. There are concerns about traffic, security, safety, and neighborhood character that will be key to the final decision. A Fay Park Citizens Advisory Committee, a public committee, chartered by Recreation and Parks Department, has been formed to work with the Department, neighborhood groups and the residents of the adjacent homes to gather input and provide guidance to The City. The committee also includes a landscape architect who has published books with Thomas Church, a preservation expert from SF Heritage, an architect, and a descendent of Mary Fay Berrigan. The CAC held its first meeting in June, 1999.
