I'm also interested in learning about the least desirable areas in The Villages.

I "personally" was not impressed with the dog park near Spanish Springs. It appeared neglected and most of the grass in the dog-park playing area is gone and only dirt remains which makes it a terrible area especially when the dirt turns to mud after a heavy rain. Not sure why The Villages cant spent a few bucks and re-sod and clean the area.

Any suggestions appreciated.
In Florida the, so-called, dirt is mostly sand. So there is little clay to make "mud" - like people from "up north" are used to. You will find some black dirt "mud", without clay, in low, swampy areas and along some parts of lakes. At the SS dog park, there are high ridges and few, if any low spots that do not DRAIN well. So, you won't have any problem walking around as long as you avoid the dogs digestive end-products. You can also walk a dog near the Silver Springs golf course.
