In another thread (dog parks), it has been noted that dogs are more apt to become aggressive when leashed and the dogs on the squares have to be leashed. Actually, according to the restrictions here, they must be leashed when not in the confines of your own property. As you said about it being too noisy for yours when you did take them (it), it is usually too noisy for most animals. I've even heard some of the "two-legged" ones say they were ready to go home because it was too noisy to visit. My dog is too old for the parks, but that seems like a good idea if people must have their dogs in a social setting....there than can be off leash and socialize with their own species. As you said, people go to the squares to enjoy the entertainment and other people.

That's because there often is not one at Lake Paradise Dog Park nor around the trees outside this Villages dog park where many dogs seem to go to pee and poop.
Sometimes there is a smell at these two places if the sun has been not out long enough for the pee to evaporate. Remember though where it seems the Villages gets most of its irrigation water? If you want to smell something quite bad, check out the sprinklers on any of the many golf courses in TV.
I took my leashed dog to TV squares on my way to the Grateful Dog, the Whole Earth Pet Supply, PetCo, Pet Smart or some other store near the Villages' squares which allow dogs in their stores. This was not late in the evening when I visited the squares with a pooch in tow.
