During the hot Texas summer, many Weatherford families will be searching for ways to stay active together. The City of Weatherford offers a host of different activities for area residents, all geared toward family fun.
Most obviously, Cherry Park Pool will be a popular destination as the temperatures continue to rise.
Parks and Recreation Department Director Kathy Mosby joked, “It’s where all the cool people will be this summer!”
The first two “Movies in the Park” events have already taken place, but city staff are encouraging the community to come out for the next two showings.
On June 19, the feature will be “Back to the Future,” followed by “Hotel for Dogs” June 26. Both movies will begin at sundown, around 9 p.m.
Mosby said people should remember this is meant to be a family event and should be discouraged from dropping children off unsupervised or allowing teenagers to attend alone.
Summer is also a busy season for Chandor Gardens, which Mosby said is full of color during this time of year. The gardens are open from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturdays, and from 1 to 5 p.m. Sundays.
“Don’t forget to check out the newly-refurbished dragon fountain,” Mosby said, referring to one of the garden’s most prized attractions.
With these and other attractions, Mosby said she felt the City of Weatherford has a lot to offer its citizens for outdoor fun in the sun.
“There’s something for everyone,” she said. “The city is excited to bring together family and friends for this free entertainment. It’s going to be a great summer!”

However, Loftin said Thursday Fowler made the referenced statement to a room full of people at a fundraiser for Loftin and agreed to let Loftin’s campaign quote the sheriff. - Film director looking for local actors
