The City of Van Buren owns some land between the Access road (by Coltons) and Bear Track Drive. It is currently just being used as a place to store gravel. This would be a perfect place to build a park, and would be a great asset for the city. There is a large number of kids/teens in the surrounding neighborhood, and a park would give them an opportunity to get some exercise and make some friends (and turn off the tablets, Playstation, and Xbox). The park would need to have activities for young children, as well as teens and adults. Some examples; a playground, swing set, tether-ball, basketball court, tennis court, skateboard/BMX bike course, climbing center, a pavilion with a couple of picnic tables, etc.
