This was a time of frustration. After FFF spent nine months greeening the field, it was over-permitted by the Department of Parks and Recreation to social sports leagues that vastly understated their number of players in permit applications. Combined with under-maintenance, the field returned to its bare-dirt surface conditions within two seasons.

West End Flyer Archive
One of the reasons that FFFF was founded was to have a voice in the civic life on the West End neighborhood.
The Flyer, was first published during 2010-2011, when the West End Library and the nearby fire station were being redeveloped as mixed-use, partially residential buildings. It was revived in May 2020 for the first year of the Covid 19 pandemic to provide information to the residential neighbors, and was circulated by building managers in condo and rental appartments in PDF format.
