This is a friendly solution, and I might add that the dog parks provided by The Villages are small, with little shade or seating provided. Conversely, there are so. many. places to walk in The Villages.

People have been taking their dogs to open spaces away from traffic since time immemorial. I personally would walk somewhere else.

If the area is on TV-owned property, maybe deed compliance would look at the issue. But if there are power lines, it's likely not TV property, and the power company would have to address it, although I doubt they would.
