Oh that's AWESOME to know! Walking on narrow bridges doesn't bother me at all. Used to have a fear of heights but working construction to physically build the inside of a store cured me of that fear. Ever try to secure steel horizontal beams with screws and wingnuts to build an aisle in a store, while standing on a 24-foot ladder? Yeah.
Anyway thank you SO much for the info. I couldn't find it anywhere on this forum (did a search for spanish springs golf cart bridge) and on the main Villages website, came up with nothing.
I didn't even notice Silver Lake rec center on the map, but I just found it, southeast of the tower. I'll be living northwest of the tower but it looks to be around a 7 minute bike ride to any of the ones I want to visit - except the tower, which is just around 3 minutes by bike.
I can't wait for all of this preparation is over. We aren't putting our house up here for sale for a few more months so between now and then, I'm scrambling to get everything DONE. The final trip down will be IT. And then - I will sip my cappucchino on the lanai and wave to everyone on the golf course through the neighbor's back yard.
