Another point of view
I think the POA is way off base on this one. Live Oaks Park is a small landscaped open space that has a path and a deck overlooking the wetlands. It is similar to Sunset Park (on the bridge on Morse Blvd), or the landscaped area south of Lake Sumter Landing at Canal and Stillwater, or the landscaped area near the cart path where Stillwater turns into Buena Vista, or some of the ponds where people can sit on a bench or fish. These are not recreation facilities -- no ball courts, pools, etc. -- why would you want your amenity fees to pay for them?
TV has very few peaceful green spaces that are open to humans; most of the open spaces are designated "preserve", fenced off with no access permitted. If people make a big stink about Live Oaks Park, we can be sure that no more beautiful spaces like this one will be planned for the new areas.
