What is FOBA?​

​The Fair Oaks Beautification Association (FOBA) is an all-volunteer, non-profit community organization. FOBA was established in 1996 as a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) group. FOBA’s mission is to improve the quality of life for residents for the North Fair Oaks neighborhood. Our community volunteer efforts have included planting and caring for over 400 street trees, installing traffic calming devices to make our streets safer, building and maintaining the parks and playground, organizing social gatherings, coordinating a community gardening project, and producing our neighborhood newsletter, Avenues.

FOBA’s mission is to improve the quality of life for residents of the North Fair Oaks neighborhood by bringing neighbors together and enhancing the neighborhood.   Over the past 20 years, FOBA’s primary activities have involved the traffic calming devices and the creation and maintenance of both the playground and pocket park.

FOBA Managed Facilities

North Fair Oaks Community Playground

The playground was constructed by FOBA in 2001 with generous support from many neighbors.  It is a focal point for many children from North Fair Oaks and adjacent neighborhoods.  FOBA hosts semi-annual community events at the playground in the spring and fall  The most recent event was a success with over 100 parents and children coming and going, enjoying the hot dogs, cookies, apples, face painting, and bouncy house!

Pocket Park

FOBA completed construction of a pocket park on the Hetch Hetchy right-of-way at the corner of Bay Road and 18th Avenue in 2013.  The park provides a welcoming entrance to North Fair Oaks from Marsh Road and is used by many neighbors.  The parcel was a weed-filled lot for many years but through the efforts of a committed group of neighbors it has been made into a beautiful pocket park filled with native, drought-resistant plants.
