Lydia Buder Park is located in West St. Louis County at the corner of highway I-44 and 141 (Woods Mill Rd.) in Valley Park, MO. If you are driving west on Highway I-44, then exit at 141 and turn right after going down the long off ramp/outer road. You can see the park to your right as you are traveling down the off ramp toward Highway 141. You need to get off Highway 141 almost immediately and turn right onto North Outer Road of Highway 141, then turn right again (east) and the park entrance is only 200 feet across the railroad tracks. The park is north of Highway 44 and east of Highway 141. As an aside, if you travel west on North Outer Road you will run into Lone Elk Park and the Wild Bird Sanctuary. |
