The Borough of Whitehall boasts some of the finest recreational facilities in the area.  Six parks conveniently located throughout the Borough feature baseball fields, soccer fields, basketball courts and playground areas.  All of the park shelters have been completely renovated within the past five years.  The parks are available for use by the general public, youth athletic associations as well as for Borough recreational programs.

In addition to the six parks, the Municipal Complex features two basketball courts, four tennis courts and the swimming pool and adjacent plaza.  The plaza was refurbished in 2007 and serves as the centerpiece for the Borough’s annual Community Day celebration.

The Code of the Borough has been amended to prohibit dogs, cats or other pets to run at large or on a leash on any public lands within the Borough, when the public land is posted with a sign that states "No Pets Allowed" or similar language.

The Borough has received complaints concerning this issue. The parks and other Borough property are used heavily by both children and adults. The deposit left by pets running free and by inconsiderate pet owners is considered to be a health hazard by those using the public lands.

Please Read all the Rules, Regulations and Procedures governing the use of the borough facilities listed above.

Water for Park Shelters: will be turned on May 1 and turned off November 1

Tennis Court Lights: will be turned on May1 and turned off November 1
