Unhappy Dog Park on 466A behind fire station CLOSED!

Why must THIS particular dog park close during the mid-day hours? And although the sign says it's closed from 11a - 2p, many times staff at Seabreeze Rec Cntr who are assigned to open it, forget to do so. I've been told (by various "Community Watch" people who were closing it prior to the Seabreeze Rec Cntr staff doing so), the purpose is:
1) to preserve the grass
2) to clean the park
3) to protect people from being there during mid-day hours when it's too hot out.

All these reasons seem pretty bogus to me. Seems strange this is the only park that needs the grass preserved, cleaning, or someone to regulate (for adults, no less), when the whether is too hot.

It's ironic that when we're locked out at 11a and a handful of us leave and go to one of the other dog parks in The Villages.

Do you know WHO EXACTLY, I CAN CONTACT ABOUT NOT LOCKING US OUT? When I've asked folks from Seabreeze Rec Cntr (or, the folks in the "Community Watch" vehicles who used to come) who close the park at 11, I've been told various things including, but not limited to:
1) the fire dept
2) Seabreeze Rec Center
3) the owner of the property that is behind the dog park
4) the Morse family
All of which are wrong.

HOW CAN THIS BE RESOLVED??
