Arthur K. Draut Park being 24.4 acres, was developed in 1994 to be utilized for water retention during heavy rains. However, it was the intention of the city government that during dry periods the park could be available for walking, jogging, or communing with nature. Arthur K. Draut Park on Bowling Boulevard is just a few blocks away from Brown Park, allowing visitors to leisurely walk between each utilizing the public sidewalk system. At the entrance of the park, from the Bowling Boulevard parking area, are noticeable vine-covered architectural structures that attempt to blend constructed features with the natural surroundings.

Other amenities in Community Park include:

• A walking path with creek-crossing bridges, stone benches, and limited wooded areas, along with dedicated wetlands complete with cattails, water grasses, and assorted wildlife. The distance of the walking path is 3844 Feet or 0.728 of a mile.
• The flow of historic Beargrass Creek meandering through this park makes this site pleasing to athletes and naturalists.
• A water fountain is available, however, no restroom, picnic or structured play areas are available at this park.
• Free parking is available

Arthur K. Draut Park is open to the public from dawn to dusk, as it is with all City of St. Matthews parks.
