The Weatherford Community Center is a new, state-of-the-art facility developed in partnership with the local Great Plains Family YMCA. Conveniently located in the heart of Rader Park, this center is designed to address Weatherford’s growing childcare needs while providing programs and amenities for its senior citizens. The facility includes both indoor and outdoor aquatic areas, providing opportunities for year-round fitness and recreation.

This project demonstrates the City’s ongoing commitment to community health, civic engagement, and meeting the demands of its city’s economic growth. The realization of this center has been made possible through the renewal of the 1/2-penny sales tax in February 2024.

“The Weatherford Community Center represents more than just a building, it’s a vision brought to life through the power of partnership, progress, and people. This project is made possible through the strong support of our community and the success of our Sales Tax initiative. Together, we’ve invested in a future that serves every generation of Weatherford.

This facility is designed to meet critical needs in our growing city. It offers accessible, reliable childcare options for working families, supports healthy living and wellness for residents of all ages, and includes programming and space focused on the needs of our older population, helping them stay active and connected.

We’re also proud to address long-standing aquatic needs with a space that provides year-round access for recreation, therapy, and swimming education.

This is a true example of what we can accomplish when we come together with a shared purpose. Thank you to everyone who helped make this vision a reality. The Weatherford Community Center is not just for today—it’s an investment in the quality of life for generations to come.” - Mayor Mike Brown.
