The Indiana Recreation and Parks Commission was created in the late 1960's by a cooperative agreement between White Township, Indiana Borough and the Indiana Area School District. In 1995, the township purchased a 50-acre parcel of land along East Pike Road for development as a recreation complex. The facilities completed and being utilized are four baseball fields, two soccer fields, a playground, walking trails, concession stand, restroom facilities and parking. Two basketball courts and a picnic area schould be completed in the spring of 2000, with tennis courts and a senior's area to follow as funding permits. A curbside recycling collection program was implemented in 1990 by White Township and Indiana Borough, in cooperation with the Indiana County Solid Waste Authority.
White Township covers an area over forty square miles.
The township owns and maintains more than eighty miles of roads, all of which are surfaced. White Township is one of the few municipalities in the state that does not impose a tax on real estate.
