Anthony Sisti, born in Greenwich Village, New York City, in 1901, came to Buffalo at the age of ten. An artist by profession and a boxer by avocation, he was a prime mover in the development of Buffalo's Allentown district, where he maintained his studio and gallery since the 1930's, and he also contributed richly to the city's larger cultural scene. A collection of his work is in the Burchfield Center in Buffalo. This park was dedicated in commemoration of Tony Sisti's contributions on the occasion of his eightieth birthday in spring 1981 by James D. Griffin, Mayor, City of Buffalo, and William L. Marcy, Jr., Delaware District Councilman.
