About Van Buren Park
Originally one of the few city parks prior to the formation of the Park District, making it one of the oldest sites in the system. While Van Buren has no equipment, it provides much needed open space for the neighborhood residents. It is often the scene of pick-up baseball or football games among the neighborhood children.
