Leal Park is the current location of where Old Urbana Cemetery is located. The old cemetery was never platted into lots, and when Mount Hope Cemetery was started in 1856, few new burials took place here.

In 1903, city of Urbana took over the cemetery and gave living relatives the option of either moving the graves to another cemetery, or having the markers laid down over the grave & buried over.

This location is now a park, but still with many burials located here.
