I think it was an after thought. It your dog poops under the big bushes near the top of the hill and you try to pick it up, your likely to fall down the hill and break your hip.
You can tell the developer isn't a dog owner by the quality, size, and location of dog parks in The Villages. Totally inadequate IMHO.

I think The Developer was a Visionary in almost all planning aspects of The Villages.
However there is a woeful lack of dog parks, given that each household is allowed to have two dogs.
We have baseball diamonds and pickle ball courts and tennis courts, but a deficit of dog parks.
This leads to a lot of bad feelings in the Villages about "someone is walking their dog on my lawn".
Personally, we use the private dog park daily so that our dogs can run and play off leash on ten acres.
And we're happy to pay for this. For two dogs it's a mere $30 per month. But it's not golf cart accessible.
Many people just won't use the private dog park when the local postal station is free and much more convenient.
I don't agree with it, but I understand why.
The dog park that Cisco Kid asked about is not only closed at midday, but they often forget to reopen it.
It's the only dog park available in the huge area between CR 466 and CR 466A.
Because it's located on a hill (behind the Fire Station), it's dangerous for
seniors to walk up a hill and balance sideways while they bend over and pick up dog poop.
As Zonerboy said "Totally inadequate".
