Now for Villagers who use that gate on the E. side I would suggest not to allow any one to follow you in after you've used your card, or if their waiting in a cart outside the gate and say they forgot their card,9 out of 10 their" tellin ya a story ". I actually don't want people riding free on my dime. ya"ll got the gate,now protect it.
I can easily see how this could happen on the pickleball court. We've been playing for two years, and only once has a rec employee come out and check for ID's. Since the pickleball courts are extremely crowded during the winter, with lines out the door waiting to play a game, you'd think the rec workers could walk a lousy 50 feet and make sure everyone's legit.

If what your friend says is true, that really ticks me off. The arrogance of some people amazes me!
