History
The original park property belonged to the Fischer family, a German immigrant family who settled in the area in 1836. The five acres of land for Conrad Fischer was originally purchased in 1966 and development began in 1967. The park is adjacent to Conrad Fischer Elementary School and Churchville Middle School. A school site extension of the park in the form of a lease was entered into in 1971 and a master plan and agreement with District 205 was completed in 1972. The playground was most recently redeveloped in 2018, keeping the focus on ages 2-5, but expanding climbing opportunities. The park courts were also redeveloped to include a futsal court and half basketball courts.
