Outsiderwithinterest==you are right that you can arrive at these rec centers and pools via public roads but you should be denied access without a Village Card--either guest pass or Resident Pass. I am sure you have heard of Private Clubs, Country Clubs, etc., where you have to pay a fee to "belong." You would be denied access to them--regardless of what public road you used to get there. It is the same with our amenity fees---we pay them to have access to pools, rec center activities, etc. for ourselves and our guests. I really don't have a problem with the Bison residents using our golf cart trails--- I don't think there are many that do but I do appreciate all the people that work for The Villages. They are the ones that help make this a wonderful place to live but I also realize that jobs are scarce and that we should take care of each other.
