We have over 100 swimming pools and we can use all of them. We often go for walks or bike rides on the many walking/biking trails in the Southern Area and then hop in the closest pool. Life is good for us here.
I have to disagree with the "yes" answer to HOA

Generally, HOAs are run by a bunch of busy body malcontents who take pleasure in trying to run other people's lives

Here, there are deed restrictions that are spelled out clearly for each unit. Violations can be reported anonymously, but Community Standards are responsible for investigating and homeowners are responsible for getting any changes approved through ARC. Neither of these oversight bodies has the same stigma as most HOAs nor are they run by the cabal of Karen, Karen, and Karen.
