Dogs, like people, need plenty of exercise to maintain good health. I feel that dog parks gives them the opportunity to run and play off leash which is so much healthier then just a little walk on a leash. The majority of yards in the Villages are very small or non existant. There are no fences except in a courtyard villa, and therefore the majority of our canines do not get the opportunity to get the exercise that they need., thus we have a community of fat lazy dogs.
I also think that its a very good selling point to have recreational facilities for pets in The Villages in view of the fact that so many villagers and wannabees do have dogs.
