I am moving to TV in February with one small dog. How many dog parks are there in TV, and where are they? Do you have to pay to use them?

Some of the diseases that can be spread from pet waste are:
Campylobacteriosis- a bacterial infection that causes diarrhea in humans.
Salmonellosis- the most common bacterial infection transmitted to humans from animals. Symptoms include fever, muscle aches, headache, vomiting, and diarrhea.
Toxocarisis- roundworms transmitted from animals to humans. Symptoms include vision loss, rash, fever, or cough.

This is silliness. There are lots of dogs and lots of dog owners in The Villages, but I would be greatly surprised if there was a single case of roundworm infestation here caused by exposure to dogs. In addition, salmonella and campylobacter are far more likely transmitted by food contamination or person-to-person contact than by exposure to canine waste.

How do we go from a simple request for Dog Park information to warnings about the dangers of touching pet waste? :ohdear:
Veronica, there are three free dog parks provided by The Villages, and information has been provided on those parks. They are small, but golf-cart accessible.
There is a ten-acre private dog park on CR 101 called Doggie Doo Run Run which is wonderful and well maintained (north/west quadrant of TV).
It costs $3 per visit or $25 per month for unlimited visits. We pay $30 per month for our two dogs. They love it there, most dogs do.
There is a part for small dogs and another for dogs over 30 lbs. And another five-acre fenced area with hanging swings; I find it so relaxing there.
We visit DDRR at least once a day so our dogs can romp off leash. It's a wonderful group of dog lovers and a good place to make new friends.
If you want more information and detailed instructions on how to get there, please PM me.
