Stacy Park is a 35-acre public park in Olivette, Missouri.
The area that became Stacy Park was originally occupied by a natural pond known as "Bock's Pond". It was a common recreation spot in Mid-County. 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. In 1967, the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts of Olivette raised enough money to erect a flagpole at the park's entrance.[2]
