Convicted felons lose many civil rights, depending on the State, such as the right to vote, own a firearm, hold political office, certain employment opportunities, government assistance/housing, etc., etc. However, I don’t think it would be legal for an individual community or development to arbitrarily deny access to facilities based on a felony conviction, beyond what is allowed or required by law. Would it? I don’t know...might be a good question for the “ask a lawyer” section, strictly as a point of interest. But I agree with Cappyjon...I don’t see this as a big problem (felonious Villagers).
As far as registered sex offenders, they have their own (State mandated) requirements as far as where they can live and what they can do.
