History

During its lifetime, Buckner Park has served the community in several capacities. Since its purchase from Marie Buckner in 1969, it has served as public farm land, military training ground, as well as a variety of other uses.  Today it offers a modern playground, sprayground, and shelter amidst nearly two hundred acres of natural open space.
