About Whiffletree I-IV Neighborhood Association

There are numerous Whiffletree neighborhoods in Plano, Texas. However, the Whiffletree I-IV Neighborhood Association (WNA) is a residential subdivision comprised of 459 homes and is located near Buckhorn Park and Wells Elementary School, which is between Coit Road and Independence Pkwy; South of Spring Creek Pkwy and North of Parker Road.

Any resident of the Whiffletree I-IV neighborhood can become a member of the Neighborhood Association. It doesn't matter if you are renting or if you own your home. We welcome all residents. Neighborhood Association membership dues are only $15 per year per household and the benefits of membership are numerous.

Besides adding to the quality of life for the residents of WNA, a strong and active neighborhood association helps to ensure an awareness of issues which may affect our property values and safety. We hope you will join us in keeping WNA one of the very best neighborhoods in Plano. We also want to formally welcome all new residents and hope each of you finds caring neighbors and a friendly atmosphere that add so much to the quality of life here in Whiffletree I-IV.


ANNOUNCEMENTS

Peanut Butter Drive Is Over – Thanks to all who contributed

The Peanut Butter drive which benefits the North Texas Food Bank (NTFB) took place during the month of September.  Cash donations and jars of peanut butter and jelly from WNA residents were delivered to the NTFB.

Thank you to Pat Nelson, who coordinated this very worthwhile program for WNA; and thank you to everyone who contributed.

As you can see by the picture, WNA raised 83 pounds of Peanut Butter which equates to 69 meals for children.  Did you know that NTFB serves up to 11,000 chronically hungry children each week through one of many programs (Food 4 Kids program). So, THANK YOU for your support.

Watering Guidelines (Nov 1 - Mar 31)

Lawns and outdoor plants require less water as we move to cooler temperatures. November 1 marks the date to dial back landscape watering and to enjoy the water-use cost savings.

Effective November 1, The City of Plano outdoor watering guidelines limit sprinkler use to the once-a-week schedule based on the last digit of your house number:

  • Even numbered addresses (including zero) can water only on Thursdays. 
  • Odd numbered addresses can water only on Tuesdays. 

The City of Plano also recommends that we follow these guidelines as well:

  • Turn off automatic sprinklers. Once cooler weather arrives, most grasses go dormant until spring which reduces your lawn's need for water. Subscribe to WaterMyYard for customized weekly watering recommendations.
  • Set your sprinklers to run between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. This is when the temperature is warmer.
  • Don't plant cool season grasses. Ryegrass and fescues require extra water during winter.
  • Avoid excessive water runoff and watering during rain, ice or snow. Runoff is prohibited because it leads to dangerous icing of streets and sidewalks.
  • Only water if your lawn needs it. Just because it is your day to water doesn't mean you must water.
