The Citrus Hills community offers spectacular on-site amenities to compliment your active adult lifestyle. But sometimes it’s nice to get out of the community and play around the area for a day.

Just 10-minutes from the gates of Citrus Hills, you will find our sister city, Inverness, which is known for its incredible dining, shopping, entertainment, trails, and even parks!

There are many spectacular parks to choose from in Inverness, as well as the 46-mile Withlacoochee State Trail, but today we will be highlighting one of the most popular parks in our area, Whispering Pines Park.

 

Whispering Pines Park

Whispering Pines is more than 290-acres of natural beauty, just minutes from the heart of downtown Inverness.

This park is dog-friendly and features 14 tennis courts, pickleball courts, racquetball courts, basketball courts, 6 fields for baseball or softball, several picnic areas, two 18-basket disc golf courses, five walking trails, cycling trails, and a junior Olympic-sized swimming pool!

As you can see, there are plenty of ways to spend a warm sunny day in Whispering Pines Park.

 

Tennis Facility

The tennis facility in Whispering Pines is top-notch. You’ll find 14 courts for every playing level, from beginner to professional. There are shaded grandstands and lighting on all of the courts.

The United States Tennis Association (USTA) has recognized this facility with the “Outstanding Facility” award! As you know, this award does not come lightly, and we are delighted to have it so close to us!

 

Walking/Cycling Trails

There are different trails within Whispering Pines, ranging from under a mile to almost 3 miles! So, whether you’re just looking for a quick jog, or are looking to exceed your steps for the week, you will find it here.

 

Trails:

–          Yellow: 2.3 miles

–          Blue: 1 mile

–          Red: 0.7 mile

–          Green: 0.7 mile

–          Perimeter: 2.9 miles

 

If you’re looking to venture outside of Citrus Hills for some tennis, pickleball, or a nice walk around a beautiful shaded trail, keep Whispering Pines Park in mind!
