Take notice the villages have made parks for your dogs, not the common area by the mail station. why can't you use your own yard as a toilet.
I beg to differ. There is never any dog poop in the trash cans since they were signed with "No Animal Feces Please." I go there every day to pick up my mail, and my mailbox is right beside a trash can and never smells. The grass looks as green as anyone else's to me, and the landscaping is as gorgeous as it was when we moved in two years ago. I've never smelled urine there. And a dog's urine doesn't really smell, anyway. Perhaps you are smelling some cats?

I do not take my dog there to run around because you're right, it isn't a dog park, but aside from one goldendoodle, the dogs I see there are on leashes. People meet and greet there, which is what we're supposed to do in those park areas. And there's no rule against taking your dog there on a leash.
