The Whitehall Parkway provides Whitehall Towhship with 110 acres of natural recreation. It is built on the site of some of the earliest commercial cement factories in America and still has cement kilns standing. The Parkway has a variety of habitats including older woodlands and meadows in the earliest stages of succession. There are also wetlands, a water filled quarry, and the Coplay Creek. Due to this diversity the Parkway supports a wide variety of plant and animal life. Over 100 species of birds have been seen in the Parkway, and deer are a common sight. Visitors have also seen fox, weasels, Great Horned Owls, mink, muskrat, and snakes. Owned by Whitehall Township, the Parkway's development was begun in 1990 and has been a joint effort of hundreds of volunteers, and local businesses and the Township government.
