Our Parks and Recreation team is working diligently to ensure that this “spooky season” will be the best in Weatherford! This month features exciting events like Monster Bash, Movies in the Park, and the highly anticipated Jack-O-Lantern Nights at Chandor Gardens

We are truly fortunate to enjoy a rich and fulfilling quality of life in our growing community As we begin a new fiscal year, I am proud that Weatherford continues to maintain one of the lowest tax rates in our region and remains competitive with cities across Texas Our staff and leadership continue to do an outstanding job exercising efficiency while ensuring our needs are met for safety, quality infrastructure, and smart growth The future is indeed bright for Weatherford
