Weston Racquet Club Officially Open
Overview of Fall Programs
Combining elements of Tennis and Squash, Padel is a fast-paced racquet sport that has yet to takeoff stateside … until NOW! The Weston Racquet Club is ushering in the sport locally with the opening of brand-new, and specially designed, Padel courts. The two courts can be seen directly to the left of the main entrance and features plexiglass panels surrounding the courts and presenting players another surface to play the ball off of.
City leaders, and the Club’s local Tennis pro, celebrated the facility at a ribbon cutting ceremony before receiving expert instruction on the sport. We had a blast learning the game and we’re sure you will too! Stop by and see the improvements around the Club today, including four pickleball courts, lighting, and more.

Where Does Your Tax Money Go?

It tells you each governmental entity that will levy taxes on your property, what amounts are proposed, what it was last year, and when/where public hearings are. Not all the taxes you pay go to the City of Weston. Learn where your money goes and why your taxes might go up even if the City doesn’t raise the tax millage rate. Also view the tax rates of all municipalities in Broward – Weston remains the lowest.
