Parks & Recreation
The Whitestown Parks and Recreation Department is dedicated to connecting parks and people by providing environmentally friendly outdoor recreation opportunities for citizens of Whitestown and surrounding communities. We strive to build a greener, healthier community for the children of tomorrow.
We have six parks and number of interesting and fun events throughout the year to bring our community together. A number of the parks have shelter rentals for birthday parties, graduations, and more.
