I think you need to understand the working of The Villages a bit more. Obviously the southern end of The Villages look newer because they are. The dog park you keep referencing is in the one of the original sections of The Villages. This area is 30 - 40 years old. If you failed to notice, the park is in a grove of very large oak trees. It is difficult to maintain nice grassy areas with all the shade. The dog park is closed routinely for maintenance. It may not be as nice as the newer parks in the southern parts of The Villages, but it is maintained. I bet there are not many of us that can say we look as good now as we did 30 years ago.
The area where the dog park is located is called Paradise Park. Just within the last few years a terrific walking path was installed, the softball and archery fields redone and new pagoda built on the lake. This park is a great place to go on a hot summer’s day and enjoy the cooling shade.
The recreation center is slated to be rebuilt within the next couple of years and one of the executive golf courses updated. The AAC is doing a good job in making sure this part of The Villages is well taken care of.
