Having been there, the amount of parking (which is shared with the rec center and golf course) is much much smaller than any town square...

That side of the turnpike just didn't have enough land (where they built Sawgrass) to put in a full size town square. From Chitty Chatty down to St Catherine is a narrow swath of land, compared to west/south of the turnpike... Whomever said it was a new twist on a "Country Club" for the golf course (IMHO) is much more "on point"...

Now, when they continue development farther south, the tract of land widens and they may have land for another real town square, but it seems that they will be building the next one across the Bexley Bridge in Eastport...

That will be closer for many than Brownwood...
