Janssen Park is a municipal park in the heart of the city of Mena, Arkansas. It is bounded by Janssen and Port Arthur Avenues, and 9th and 7th Streets. The park is a large grassy expanse with occasional mature trees, and features walkways radiating from a central drive, which circles around Mena's oldest building, the c. 1850s Shelton log cabin. A pair of ponds are located in the park's southern quadrant, and there is a clocktower within the circle near the cabin. The park was laid out in 1896, the year of the city's founding, but was not properly developed until ten years later.^[2] The park was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.^[1]
