Before their advice we used the one in DeSoto the day after it opened and it was a disgusting mess, poop all over the place not only within the fenced area but along the sidewalk. Can't blame the dogs. Never went back and never will, we exercise him on the walking trails like most people do.
New to The Villages ourselves and definitely planning on taking the dogs to the parks, now I'm not so sure. It would make us all (dogs included) unhappy if the parks are not kept up to the point they're unusable.
