Fay Park in San Francisco is nesteled in the Russian Hill district of San Francisco. This small public park was a private residence until 1998. The park surrounds the 1912 home built by brothers Luke Fay and John Fay, Jr., on property owned by the family since 1869. Luke’s daughter Mary lived there with her husband Paul Berrigan from 1953 until her passing in 1988. It was Mary’s wish to dedicate the property to the City of San Francisco for a public park, and upon the death of her husband in 1998 it became known as Fay Park.
