White Park

One of my favorite local parks since I was a child. When my siblings and I were young children, our dad would gather us for a hike, at the "tank field" which is now White Park. White Park used to house huge oil tanks, some of which were still there when I was a child. We used to joke that whichever child had the newest "tennis shoes" would manage to accidentally step into an oily sludge. As you walk through White Park today you can still see some of the round containment berms that helped to contain some oil leakage from the tanks. A lot of lost history. This was an important storage facility and tied into the Eureka Pipeline. I can remember my parents and uncle talking about one of the tanks burning after being struck by lightning. I've often thought the water reservoir was probably the site of an old grist mill, but have never found any written history. At one of the roads leading to the park is a house with several stone grist mill wheels. I could go on with my history, but I'll leave it as White Park is a great place to walk or bike, especially with a group of friends, as the main path through the park is wide.

A nice place for a hike, not many options around other than baseball fields border of the park. Park you car near the sign that looks like there’s map (😅 there’s no map). Enter the path on the opposite side and walk about 10 minutes to the Waterfalls. There’s a steep path towards fall, must be careful.

Love this park with all the trails to walk and games going on, plus the ice rink, always something to do all year long.

The waterfall hike is very quick and easy. Getting down to the bottom can be a little tricky if it's wet as the path is a little steep. Tons of roots and rocks to help with balance, though. After large amounts of rain, a second waterfall can be seen and accessed through the creek. Gorgeous!

The other trails are also nice and well-maintained.

Not sure about the park aspect but a great old barn to watch a hockey game!

Great place to hike, bike and feel like you are out of town 🙃

Very beautiful and easy to enjoy. Lots of areas for walking and other things such as basketball, baseball fields and the ice hockey rink. Come explore the park.

Excellent city park. Beautiful wide trails with limestone surfaces meandering through the woods. Nice area with water falls in the area somewhat near the car dealerships. Lots of rec facilities like baseball fields and basketball courts in central area of park.

White park is pretty cool place to take a walk. Especially w a dog or two. Park near the ice rink and pick a trail. Great place to bring the mountain bike many trails and jumps good for all skill levels. So softball, fishing, hiking, ice skating, dog walking, picnic areas...worth an evening for sure!

Nice park with great parking, there's a bunch of parking and trails to explore. The bathrooms could be rentavated and maybe add more. Great park

I can't believe I've lived in the Morgantown area for 13 years and I never knew about this beautiful park! There are miles of hiking and walking trails, waterfalls, picnic areas and more!

Beautiful walking trails and lots of benches for relaxing. Look for the beautiful waterfalls. It's a bit of a hike, but we'll worth it.

Very nice park. The park is very well maintained and has a lot of trails, which are very nice. There is no litter and it is very clean. The playground could use some work as there isn't much of one and the equipment is old. The fields and courts are in great shape. There is also a nice pavilion you can rent and plenty of parking.

I love White Park!! Beautiful area for a walk in the woods and the waterfall is beautiful!

Great park with a hidden gem of a waterfall.

Nice pavilion to have a picnic and good walking trails to get some exercise.

Amazingly being a Saturday for my visit, the White Park Reservoir seemed to have very few visitors. It was very quiet and relaxing. Although sadly I did find quite a bit of litter that had been left behind by uncaring people. I picked it up from along the Water's edge, as well as on the walking trails too. Oddly I did not see or find any waste removal cans in which to the place the litter.

Found the waterfall yesterday! I had no idea such a nice little spot could be so close to town. Look out for the worms though!

We came here for trails and they didn't disappoint! Easy, low elevation nature walks all along the river. If you're willing to step off the trail, you might even find the waterfall! There's a bunch of mountain bike trail, so just be vigilant. I really enjoyed our walk here and I look forward to coming back when it's warm again.

Many many morgantown people do not know this beautiful place is even here. Please if you see this review go for a walk here. Come have a ride on your bike. They have bike trails and walking trails. There is a beautiful stream with a water falls. It looks amazing and so wonderful to listen to.
