Is there a Town Hall? Yes Location: In village

Parks, Gardens and Recreation Grounds. Brief Description: The Parish Recreation Field purchased for £200 on the proceeds of three dances. It is extensively patronized for sports etc. There is a second better surfaced rented field which gets a good share of inter-county patronage—so Whitegate excels in sporting accommodation.

Brief comments on water supply and sewerage:
Water supply consists of a useless public pump with two private wells, there is no piped supply or sewerage system. Owing to the very scattered nature of the village, loss of the latter is not too keenly felt.
