It suffered considerably from vandalism. Culminating several years of efforts by two successive South District council members, bids were approved in 1989 for exterior and interior renovations to the Casino, including removal of the bathhouse wings added in the 1930s. Renovations were completed the following year and the Casino was rededicated. The Buffalo Friends of Cazenovia Casino was formed in 1988 to focus community desires concerning the building. It has organized a number of events centered on the Casino since its reopening, but the city to date has been unsuccessful in finding a regular operator for the building which would restore it to its former place as a center of community activity.
Vandalism continues to tax the city's maintenance efforts for the building, as well.
A long overdue masterplan to guide the development and restoration of the park was contracted by the city in 1996 and completed the following year. While that document is yet to be formally approved, a number of its recommendations are being implemented. Additional tree plantings have been accomplished, and an extensive pathway system extended into areas where Omsted's planned paths were never completed. A hardstand for heavy equipment has been constructed within the golf course addition to remove it from the park proper. Parking along one side of the park drive has been banned, and a small area set aside for off-road parking just west of the Green Bridge.
