More Info
Buder Park is located at 68 Larkin Williams Road, Valley Park, Missouri 63088. It's a little tricky to navigate a couple roundabouts, but Google or Apple maps should get you to the park. Once in the park, the first road on the right should have a sign indicating Model Aircraft Flying Fields to the right. Follow that road to the runway and pavilion on the left, and park in the convenient parking lot.
