I’ve been by there many times and everyone I’ve seen has always looked pretty able to walk a further distance.

You may want to spend sometime in the VA clinic parking lot to witness the number of disabled Veterans who are able to drive themselves to their appointments either by golf cart or car as their disability does not impair their ability to drive but it does impair their ability to ambulate. Some of these Vets can't even ambulate without the assistance of a cane or walker, and others require wheelchairs and scooters. And unfortunately there are many who are mobility impaired who do not or no longer have a spouse, other family member or a friend who can drive them where they need to go and have no choice but to be as best as they can self reliant. I am sure that some that park on that strip of grass could very easily park in the parking lot and walk to the interior of Sawgrass from there. But don't assume this is the case with everyone who parks on the strip of grass who often remain in their carts to listen to the bands from there because getting inside with the assistance of a cane or walker along with lugging a chair as there is minimal seating inside Sawgrass is difficult if not impossible for them.
I agree with the poster who mentioned that strip of grass should have been instead a paved bank of handicapped golf cart parking spaces.
