Think about what you said.

True. And thank goodness those people are here. Otherwise we would all be eating canned soup and looking out at our knee high lawns.
But the fact is, the people you refer to have been here all along. No new cases since April 28.
And Villagers have been going to grocery stores, liquor stores, home improvement stores, and other "essential" businesses since the stay at home order was issued. And at many of those businesses there were other customers not wearing masks. No new cases since April 28.
And pools and dog parks opened May 11, followed by pickleball and billiards on May 18. Still no new cases.
And then there's the hand-wringing on this site about people not maintaining 6' separation while waiting for Red Sauce to bring out their orders, and getting too close together at RJ Gators, and all the other "violations" of the rules, but there has not been a single new case of COVID-19 in The Villages since April 28.
I'm not suggesting the OP should go to a rec center if he doesn't feel comfortable because there are unmasked people there. That's for him to decide.
But I don't think it reasonable to obsess over the mask issue when the demonstrated absence of masks has not resulted in a problem for a long enough period that a problem would have shown itself if there was one.
