Village Parks

The Village of Whitehouse realizes the importance of providing quality recreational opportunities for it's residents, especially our youth. There are three (3) Village owned parks within the corporation limits and each offers a variety of amenities.

Village Park, the largest and most centrally located is in the uptown area and offers shelter houses which can be used for special events and family gatherings. Reservations are required and can be made by calling Village employees at 419-877-5383. Village Park also features two separate playground equipment areas. One is for older children with climbing equipment, swings, slides, and monkey bars. There is also a fenced area with equipment suitable for toddler and younger children.

The park is bordered on the eastern side by the Village Quarry. This quarry was part of the original stone quarry operated in the late 1800's and furnished stone for the railroad beds west of the Village. The quarries have been operated as the Pray-Hall Quarry, The Whitehouse Stone Company, The Erie Stone Company and the Nona France Stone Quarry. Although no swimming, fishing or boating is allowed in the quarry, it serves as a tranquil place to rest, relax and enjoy nature. There are two walking/jogging paths surrounding the quarry, one is paved and approximately ½ mile long and the other is a gravel ¼ mile path. These are used often by residents and school sports groups.

There are also two softball/ baseball diamonds located at the Village park used on a nightly basis during the spring and summer months.

Sandra Park is located in the northwestern section of the Village (off Sandra Drive between Cemetery and Finzel Roads) and was formerly one of the Village water well properties. It is a wide open area surrounded by residential homes and used as practice fields for various soccer, softball, and football teams.

Oak Brook Park is located in the Oak Brook subdivision and features playground equipment. This area is used frequently by Oak Brook and nearby residents.
