Buder Park is divided into 2 parts, a large portion is north of Hwy 44 (upper Buder), and part is south of 44 (apparently before the highway was built it was one big park). The playground is on the portion of the park which is south of Hwy 44 (lower Buder). The airfield for remote-controlled airplanes is on the other side, and that is really fun for kids as well.

The playground has a large play structure and a smaller structure for kids under 5. There are multiple slides, rock walls, a spider web climber, a seat that spins, and 2 things you stand on that bounce you up and down. There are 2 sling swings, 1 baby swing, and 1 adaptive swing. There are 2 ride on spring motorcycles

The playground was rebuilt in 2014, and it's a good thing because the old playground was awful. Too bad they didn't renovate the bathrooms as well! Every time we've been here it's been very quiet. It's set back from the street with plenty of parking and is a great little playground. 

The restrooms are next to the playground, and the pavilion is a bit further past this building. 

There is a large flat open field next to the playground.
