It's not a Villages dog park. It is a Wildwood community dog park, called Bark Park. There are many Villagers who bring their dogs there, and we have a friendly community and do things outside of going to the park (dinners, concerts, etc.).
You may have read that there was an assault that happened there Saturday morning. The young man, from the village of Charlotte, was arrested. I've been going to that park for years, but this is the first I've heard of anything bad happening. Plus, before anyone comes down on Wildwood, I remind that this man is a Villager. A young man, I believe. You can look it up on the site that cannot be named here.

Some of the TV dog parks close for maintenance, mostly for a week, and we get more activity at Bark Park due to that. Our park is maintained twice per week from 9-11 am, so we don't get the closures that the TV parks get. But we do get an influx of new dogs when a TV park closes, who are not used to our dogs, nor ours to them. Mostly that all works out because most people have socialized their dogs.
