From what I read, it seems that the bridge structures, the roadway and underlying supports are all good. If not, the County would fix it because it is their road. The problem is just the erosion of the pile of sand, dirt and small rocks that the developer dumped into the middle of a mined peat bog to create the "park". Apparently the powers to be didn't have the common sense to realize that the constant wave action from the trending wind direction washes away such unprotected fill. There are no sink holes creating the erosion problem. Anyway, a really good sinkhole would probably drain most of the lake and such a sinkhole would be very evident.
What is really sad is that we, the residents, probably have already "paid" once for the island as part of some bonded infrastructure cost when that section of The Villages was developed!!
