When these facilities are built, there is negotiation between the builder and TV whether units will have access, i.e., pay amenity fees, and how many units will have this opportunity. IIRC, Freedom Point got all their units that opportunity, but I also remember others got some of their units included, but not all. And some got none.

There was a lot of discussion on TOTV about the awarding of access to these facilities since the construction of recreational facilities was done on a formula that counted only the single family homes built. There was concern that adding more people to the mix without adding facilities would overburden them. Similar to the discussion occurring now with the Villa neighborhoods being built in District 4.
