Tree, Plaque to Honor Longtime Civic Leader

He was a member of the Buena Park School District board and chairman of the city’s centennial celebration in 1987. But Tressler was primarily known for his 34 years as a city parks commissioner, helping plan every park in the city.

The tree will be planted in ceremonies at 11 a.m. Sept. 22 the park, 7520 Dale St.
