Ingleside Light, Summer 2010
Cayuga Park has seen better days.
The famous park has a fence and chains around its play areas and the clubhouse closed two years ago due to plumbing issues. However, plans to rebuild Cayuga Park are in the final stag- es as community members and city departments figure out to maintain and enhance the garden-like vibe of the park.
The joint venture between the city’s Parks and Recreation Department, The Cayuga Improvement Association and the San Francisco Arts Commission needs final approval from the Art Commission, which is scheduled to happen in September. Prospective park builders will then be sought for afterward. Funding for the park came from the 2008 voter-approved $185 million Neighborhood Parks bond that gave money to parks in dire need of repair. Funding also came from BART to replace the playground area that will be removed while they rebuild the track support columns.
