About the Location
Historical Background
Established in 1912, Buder Park was named after Susan Rassieur Buder, a notable German immigrant who settled in St. Louis. The park was created as part of Buder's wish to provide recreational facilities for the children of St. Louis.
Location and Layout
This 2.31-acre city park is situated between Rutger, California, Hickory, and Ewing Avenues in the Gate District neighborhood. The park's terrain includes a raised area that provides excellent views of Downtown and Midtown St. Louis.
A concrete retaining wall surrounds the park, though it has deteriorated over time and requires maintenance. The western edge houses the primary recreational facilities, while the eastern portion consists mainly of an open field.
Recreational Amenities
Buder Park offers various amenities for community recreation. The park features basketball courts, volleyball courts, and playground equipment for children.
Community Efforts
In recent years, efforts have been made to revitalize Buder Park. Local residents and city officials have been working together to improve the park's facilities and make it a more positive asset for the neighborhood.
