Developed with families in mind, this 49.5-acre park offers a variety of recreational opportunities for all ages. In 1998, the Shelby-Utica Kiwanis Club funded the purchase and construction of a handicap accessible, environmentally friendly playscape (made of recycled plastics) for the enjoyment of the children of the community.

Located at 1000 Twenty One Mile Road,
Whispering Woods is a busy park from Spring through Autumn. Local soccer leagues play games and hold camps, baseball teams use Bob Adams Field, and football is played in the Fall. The park has also become popular with local teens for volleyball and basketball.
