Arbuckle Acres Park is located in Brownsburg, off 267, south of Highway 74. Directly inside the entrance you will find a soothing waterfall and garden with benches. It such a relaxing place to sit for awhile.
Or take a walk on the one mile paved path through densley wooded trail, which starts along the creek.
With two playgrounds, basketball and tennis courts, and eight shelters, Arbuckle Acres is a perfect place to plan a family get together.
Several annual events are scheduled at the park, as well as concerts. Find out more info here.
View the show with more pictures of the park.

Bush Stadium stands as a remnant of what it once was. In the glory days of it’s youth, the stadium was revered as one of the finest ball fields in Minor League baseball. As former home to the Indianapolis Indians, and the Indianapolis Clowns Negro League team, Bush Stadium was most recently used as midget car race track. Today, it has been vacant for eight years and is owned by Indy Parks.
Although just a remnant, it still stands. Now, the question is what to do with the building which was once filled with baseball fans. For many, the building and grounds are an eyesore, while others want to see it remain. The city is not prepared for the cost of rehabbing the building and it is unlikely the stadium will ever be used for sports again. The chances of it being demolished are slim, since the building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
There has been much talk about what to do with the stadium in the last few months. Much of the speculation has the building remodeled and used in some fashion for life science facilities. The buildings location along White River at 16th Street makes for a quick trip to IUPUI and medical facilities like Wishard Memorial, Indiana University Medical Center and Riley Childrens Hospital.
Whatever it becomes, I hope the original building remains as part of the new plans.

This beautiful little park sits on a triangualr piece of land bordered by University Park, 10th Street and Indiana Ave., across from Wishard Hospital.
The 1 1/2 acre park is a tribute to those who have survived cancer. The Cancer Survivor Park in Indianapolis is the inspiration of Richard and Annette Bloch. Richard, the “R” in H&R Block, is a lung cancer survivor whose goal is to provide 52 such parks around the country.
Upon entering the park, visitors begin a Poitive Mental Attitude walk, composed of 14 inspirational and informatve palaques. In the center of the park is an interactive computer screen which depicts the names of local cancer survivors. There are also eight life size sculptures depicting cancer treatment and successes.
