what are the pools like in new areas
 
Are there any walk/roll in pools or pools with waterfalls or any new features in the newer areas of The Villages. I don't mean priority pools where you have to pay more. Thanks

Why not drive down and look around at all the new facilities. There are no adult only pools north of Warm Springs Ave.,

Marathon Man 03-18-2020 11:21 AM

No adult pools in the southern villages. Lots of families in them from what I have seen.

This is false. There are currently 5 adult pools south of Warm Springs Ave. See attachment which is available at districtgov.org.

Neighborhood pools are the adults only pools. You mean there are NONE of those pools south of 44 with no plans to offer neighborhood pools? Tell me that isn't so.

Thanks for posting this PDF of this map. I printed it for my own reference.

I noticed one change in the verbiage of rec centers. There are Neighborhood Rec Centers (NRC) such as Sterling Heights, but in the area south of 44 they are labeled (VRC) Village Rec Center on the Recreation Center Map.

This is not correct.

On the PDF that I uploaded with a previous post, Sterling Heights is labeled VRC, which is correct.
For example, Tamarind Grove, St. James are labeled NRC, which are also correct.

Apparently what was before a Neigborhood Pool such as Tamarind Grove, St. James, etc. are now designated a NRC (Neighborhood Rec Centers). Before Sterling Hgts was the Neighborhood Rec Center, it's now a Village Rec Center, it gives them one more layer of rec enters by making the pools more than just a pool, although there is no buildings other than bathrooms and a mail station.

This is incorrect. I live in Monarch Grove and there is an adult pool and a family pool. There are others

JackKoller 03-19-2020 07:24 AM

Priority pool.

The pool at Orange Blossom Country Club is a priority pool. I don't know of any others.

Lisa64 03-19-2020 09:10 AM

The golf course pools are priority.

Bethwill 03-19-2020 10:16 AM

Priority pools are at the country clubs and people get access with their Priority golf memberships, and I believe you can buy just pool memberships also at a much reduced rate from the golf memberships.

There are adult only neighborhood pools in Fenney, DeSoto, McClure, Monarch Grove, and possibly Chitty Chatty. The others are resort style pools that allow families.

I believe there are only 4 of them unless Chitty Chatty has one.

Can you tell me where the 'priority' pools are located? Are they pools where you can order food/drink while at the pool? (Of course, not now - once this virus is over.) Thanks.

JSR22 03-19-2020 03:46 PM

Priority pools are adjacent to the restaurants on the golf courses. A few do not have pools.

They are explained here: Golf The Villages
