In 1926, St. Louis decided to build a reservoir here since it was one of the highest points above sea level in St. Louis County at 700 feet.

[1] Stacy Park formed around the reservoir and became one the primary sources of water for St. Louis.

The park features a pavilion, a 2-mile walking path, a garden,[3] several baseball fields, playground, picnic tables, bathrooms, outdoor grills, a basketball court and one multi-use field.

[4][5] The park also hosts a summer camp for kids and teenagers and offers field trips, swim days, crafts and games.

Stacy Park hosts an annual carnival every July.
