Washington Township operates two parks and two wetlands for the benefit of township citizens. The popular Red Run Park on PA Route 16 and Pine Hill Park with walking trails and ball fields is located on Mentzer Gap Road. Both parks are easily accessible to all citizens. The two wetlands are Antietam Meadow Park and Happel's Meadow. Two additional parks are located in the township and are operated by others. Zullinger Community Center and the Sheffield Manor recreation area are available for people in those areas.

Pavilions are available to rent for the day during warm weather at Red Run Park and Pine Hill. The pavilion fee schedule lists each of the pavilions at Red Run Park and Pine Hill showing its fee for a day's rental and the number of people it will accommodate.
