At the last block party there was a fantastic chili cook-off and barbeque.” They also like the recreational aspects of the area. “We use the recreation centers often and enjoy using the new neighborhood pool.” states Tina. She continues to say “Weatherstone is a very quite neighborhood and a great place to raise a family.”
