History of Mavis Stouffer Park

In, 1981, the project was originally known as the Ripona - Manley Park. The City used the 1980 Park Bond Act funds to purchase the original 11 1/2 acres from Westley and Mavis Stouffer for $40,000. The land had been appraised in 1979 for $107,200. The original park was largely developed through the work of a long list of volunteers, and their donations of money and materials.

Over the years, the City has continued to purchase adjoining land until the park reached its present size of just under 28 acres.
