Sports and Activities

There’s never a dull moment in Whitehouse as far as our youth are concerned!  In addition to playground areas where children can play and socialize at their own pace, we offer many organized sports and activities.  Bring the family for a fun filled day and enjoy our great restaurants while you’re here!

The Anthony Wayne Youth Foundation leads the way with opportunities for organized sports; including soccer, baseball, football, and softball.  They recently were given approval from the Planning Commission and Village Council to begin construction on a multi-sports complex, known as the Blue Creek Recreation Area, located on Providence Street near the intersection of Stiles Road.  When complete, this complex will feature press boxes, 6 each football / soccer fields, 6 each softball / baseball diamonds, 3 each junior football / soccer fields, a community room, concession stands, restrooms, and playground loaded with the latest equipment.   

The Anthony Wayne Soccer Organization is also well known for its activities and programs.  The goal of the Anthony Wayne Soccer Club (AWSC) is to bring committed players, coaches, and parents together to improve soccer skills, knowledge, teamwork, sportsmanship, and competition.  This personal commitment and effort leads to a greater understanding of soccer and allows players to develop superior individual team skills.

Whitehouse Christmas Tree Farm promises a fun-filled day for the entire family (open November 28 – December 20, 2008).  The Farm, located just outside the Village limits, offers 80 acres of Christmas trees.  Bring the family, pick out the perfect tree, and it will be cut for you, wrapped, and loaded onto your vehicle.  Enjoy a free horse drawn carriage ride around the property, while eating a delicious grilled hot dog and warm cup of hot chocolate.  Cameras are encouraged and the owners love to receive your pictures and will feature them on their web site at www.whitehousetreefarm.com. 

The Butterfly House (April – October) located across the street from the Whitehouse Christmas Tree Farm on the outskirts of town is another delightful trip for the entire family!  The Butterfly House contains over 1000 butterflies with many different species from North and South America and Asia and was built with the idea of developing beautiful gardens in a controlled environment to exhibit butterflies to the general public.
