Sorry, but that dog don't hunt.

Many people now pay with their monthly fee for amenities they don't use. Notably golf courses, baseball diamonds, tennis courts, and some residents don't even use the pools. Some don't own golf carts so never use the MM paths.

And actually we'd be happy to pay admission for a decent dog park. We pay now to use a private dog park, Doggie Doo Run Run, as do many Villagers.
