If your like me, my dog Cal is like one of the family, he's just one of the kids. So, when going to the park with my kids one afternoon to hit some baseballs it never occurred to me that Cal wasn't welcome.  When getting to the park and having the maintenance man approach us to let us know "No Dogs Allowed".  We were able to stay with Cal but was told, in a nice way not to bring him back.  So I wanted to see which parks in Weston allow dogs and pets and which do not. Here is the information on the Weston Parks and what they offer. Weston has a total of fourteen parks and recreational facilities through out the city.  Each one has it's own unique personality and offers different amenities for the diverse personalities we have in Weston.

Last week in my "Weston Wants" blog there were two Luxury Homes that closed.  No they were not a short sale or a foreclosure.  I'm asked all the time if listings over a million are moving at all.  My answer to that is yes they are selling,like all homes they have to be priced right.  South Florida still has a large percent-age of buyers looking for that "Luxury Home".   2900   PADDOCK ROAD  "IN WINDMILL RANCH ESTATES" WESTON, FL This five bedroom plus office,four bath custom estate was completely renovated.

"A Happy person is not a person in a certain set of circumstances, But rather a person with a certain set of attitudes."    Hugh Downs My family and I are able to be a part of an organization that lets any child with any disability become a baseball player on a team that meets every Sunday.  No one is turned away and everyone gets to play. The teenagers that volunteer are the players "Buddy".  They help them with the fundamentals of the game, hitting the ball, how to hold the bat, and the best part of all running the bases.   Arriving at the park and seeing all the excitement the kids bring to the field and their smiling faces just makes you want to stop and say O.K. lets "play ball".  They are so ready to get the game started.   Parents are asked to sit and watch the game and let the B... 03/17/2009

When you hear the letters "Y-M-C-A," you automatically think of kids and swimming and summer camps. I remember as a kid that the "Y" was a place anyone could swim or play sports when there wasn't a park or school nearby.  I never gave much thought as to how the YMCA was run.  I just always knew the YMCA never turned  anyone away because of inability to pay. My family has been a member of the Weston YMCA, located in Regional Park, since it opened two years ago. Classes in all areas of fitness are offered -- from Spinning to yoga to Zumba. There is something for everyone - including plenty of equipment which allow you to do your workout in a reasonable period of time. There are basketball courts, rock climbing, a brand new outdoor pool. and a daycare. I'm always looking for a way to give ... 02/18/2009

Leave it to Weston to keep up with technolgy. The city is planning to take Library Park and Weston Regional Park into the 21st century with the installation of wireless Internet service by this spring.
