| Help Support Our Neighborhood Park! Our North Fair Oaks Park, with its popular playground, is located on Edison at 9th Avenue. It’s the heart of our neighborhood and a great place to meet and play. Taking care of it helps ensure the safety and desirability of our homes. The park is funded and maintained entirely by you and your donations. Send a Tax-Deductible Donation We need to raise at least $6000 each year to keep our playground. This is the minimum amount to cover insurance, gardener, water, and general maintenance. This is NOT a County or City park. It belongs to us, and it’s up to us to maintain it. Your donation of any size counts. The Fair Oaks Beautification Association, FOBA, is a non-profit (501c3) neighborhood organization. When you donate, a receipt will be sent to the address you provide if you request one. We are all volunteers, so there is no overhead. Your money will be used directly to maintain the park and provide a safe place for our children to play. Please send your donation to: FOBA Playground, P.O. Box 4001, Menlo Park, CA 94026-4001 Volunteer to Help in Other Ways Our costs are low because we pitch in. If you visit the park or just like knowing it’s there, you can contribute beyond donating cash. Sign up to do some light maintenance (sweeping, picking up) at the park for one month out of the year. It's easy to do and makes a big difference. Contact Katie Grandy at Kgrandy@colorfield.com. We always welcome volunteers! Spread the Word Talk to your neighbors. Let others know how much we value this community resource. Make plans to join us in keeping our park a place we can all enjoy. Get More Information We are currently collecting emails to be able to communicate with Fair Oaks neighbors about this and other important issues that concern us. Stay informed.
