Not sure why The Villages cant spent a few bucks and re-sod and clean the area.

They did. They did a bunch of research and even had someone come out and measure for artificial turf (I think it was $104,000). The trees make it impossible for grass to grow but keep it really much cooler in the summer so it's a very nice spot for spending time with your dog.
After much deliberation they settled on putting in some sprinklers and tried to grow grass. It lasted about a month. Total waste of money.
I suggested they replace the dirt with sand. Do you think there may be some sand around here? The sand would be cleaner and allow quick drainage. The dogs could run and play and fall in it without getting hurt. They could even dig in it and it would be easy to just fill the holes back in with the rake. You can easily find the poop and the pee would just drain through.
I thought it was a great alternative but . . .
