Try to find another place where you can get anywhere near that much for about $150 per month. Good luck with that endeavor.
Actually, maintenance of the multi-modal paths and new plantings each season are not paid for with your monthly amenities fees. They are managed by your numbered district and paid for by your non ad valorem taxes.
