History

The Sticha Family purchased the property in 1898 (Family of Ronald J. & Fran Sticha and Leroy & Arline Sticha).  On September 27, 2007,  "Heath Creek Park" (original name) was renamed as Sticha Park in recognition of the previous land owners.  In 1982 the city identified the need for a park on the southeast side of town to accommodate area residents.  At that time, the city was permitted to fill the low area south of Industrial Drive.  In 2005, the site was plated as “Park” along with the Lonsdale Industrial Park 2nd Addition.  In 2015, the old compost site was relocated from Sticha Park to the Rezac Nature Preserve.  Youth soccer was played at Sticha Park until the new Trcka Park soccer fields were constructed.  A Grand Opening / Ribbon Cutting event was held on August 13, 2013.
