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.

I don't live south of 466 but I have read the article in the POA news and I have to agree with bike42. This is a specific park that was built in a certain CDD district and should be covered by the maintenance fees in that district.
If that park had been designed and built when the area was developed it would have been part of the maintenance fees for that CDD. However, it that park was built after the fact, which I think it was based on a request from someone, the proposal should have gone before the members of that CDD at a CDD meeting where it should have been voted yea or nay to even build the park. It seems to me that it is a Missions of Haciendas Hills specific park.
Just my two cents.
