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.
Paradise dog park has been resodded and reseeded many times in the eight years I have been here. Unfortunately due to the trees and the shade with the high use area the grass doesn't stand a chance of staying. I am not sure about the sprinkler system (or lack thereof) there but that may be another issue. With the FEW dog parks we have in this growing metropolis just be thankful we have that one.....with shade by the way. Atlas dog park has good grass and is well maintained with overseeding bare spots BUT it is in the HOT sun. So there are pros and cons for each park.
