Closed Permit System

Whitehall Borough operates a Closed Park Permit System.  Park Permit Holders are granted exclusive use of a Borough Park on the designated day and time specified on their Park Permit.  This applies to the Borough Sponsored Summer Camp, the South Hills Interfaith Movement (SHIM) Camp and the Bhutanese Community Association of Pittsburgh (BCAP) Camp. 

Whitehall Borough Summer Camp runs for 6 weeks every summer; Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM at the following Borough Parks – Frank Park, Overlook Park, Snyder Park, and Union Park.

The Whitehall Borough Parks Plan

The Whitehall Parks Master Plan is a culmination of efforts over three years. The Parks Planning Committee has been seeking to both update the Comprehensive Park Plan and establish a new master plan for each neighborhood park. Along with creating a direction for future funding, the park master planning process will provide essential feedback from the community.
