I have personally observed on MANY occasions people obviously under the age of 55 abusing amenities. I've seen children under the age of 13 (I've asked their age) using indoor rec center equipment incorrectly. I've seen children under the age of 10 causing damage to the outdoor exercise equipment. I've seen teenagers, obviously under the age of 30 in adult pools, on two occasions wearing thongs. I've seen children under the age of 10 damaging outdoor shuffleboard and bocce equipment by being overly aggressive and not using the equipment properly. I've seen tennis and pickleball equipment being used incorrectly by kids. And I've seen kids obviously not yet teens driving golf carts. I do not know if these people are renters, guests or locals using our amenities, but I wish they would pay something extra to cover the cost of repairs. If the owners who invite these folks to our villages would make sure their guests and renters obeyed the rules, this would be an even happier place to live for many of us who signed contracts saying we agreed to obey the rules. I have not observed people aged 55+ that I personally know to be owners, abusing any of our amenities.
