GG, I usually agree with you, but not this time. I think more dog parks would be a big win for the Developer. It would keep dogs away from the Postal Stations, obviously a hot button for a lot of people.
Speaking of noise, a lot of residents don't appreciate the noise from early pickleball players. It doesn't bother me, but I've heard neighbors complain. I agree that dog parks wouldn't work in existing residential areas. The parks would have to be built closer to commercial or industrial areas. For instance, the newest dog park in Bonita is beside the Firehall.
The Villages did manage to build three dog parks, so presumably they could build more. I haven't heard any complaints from residents about the existing dog parks (other than they are very small). However it's just wishful thinking on my part. I hate to read all the negative posts that are critical about people walking their dogs. I don't have a horse in this race .. we quite happily make the daily trek to a huge private dog park, and we're happy to pay to take our dogs there.
