The park is home to the annual Brownsburg Festival of the Arts, held in the summer.
It serves as a major trailhead for the B&O Trail, a multi-use path built on a former railroad corridor.
The park contains a designated arboretum section featuring native Indiana tree species.
The landscape includes significant floodplains that periodically reshape the creek banks during heavy rainfall.
Arbuckle Acres Park serves as the primary community park for the town of Brownsburg, Indiana. The park spans 66 acres of diverse terrain, including dense woodlands and open meadow spaces. A primary feature is the extensive network of paved trails that connect to the broader local greenway system. The facility includes a large playground area designed for various age groups and multiple picnic shelters available for public use. White Lick Creek runs through the property, providing a natural riparian corridor for local wildlife observation. It functions as a central hub for town-wide recreational activities and seasonal community events.

Wear insect repellent if you plan to hike the woodland trails during the humid Indiana summer.
Check the town parks department website to see if a shelter is reserved for a private event before planning a picnic.
Use the trail system early in the morning to spot deer and other woodland fauna before the park reaches peak daily activity.
Do not attempt to cross the creek during or immediately after heavy rain due to rapid water level changes.
Leash your pets at all times and adhere to 'carry-in, carry-out' waste disposal policies to protect the creek environment.
