From the meeting yesterday. Heard no addition pickleball courts in district 4 CYV's expansion off 42. No surprised more room for more housing, extra 1000 home with only 14 PB courts above 466. (This will affect you golfer's also! Heck I more than 14 holes around my neighborhood) This effects use all with more using amenities. What's next raise amentiies for less use?

Are you talking about the 300 new CYV they are building up near the VA Clinic?

I think that if they have rec centers they will have pickleball courts. What you heard is probably a rumor. Lot of them going around.

OMG!!..The Villages hospital will only have 300 total beds after this expansion.....OUCH to the ER/patient flow as it is...so much for "America's Healthiest Hometown" patient care...

Yes, the expansion will include two new "neighborhood recreation centers". Have you checked out the "official" definition of a 'Neighborhood Recreation Center'? A Neighborhood Recreation Center consists of a postal station and a family pool. It does not include a building with meeting rooms or card rooms, or other recreation facilities like pickle ball courts, bocci courts, etc. It is only a postal station and a pool!

Because of the noise factor, not all rec centers have pickleball courts.

Nope a neighborhood rec center has a a large gathering building, a family pool, pickleball courts, bocce, and shuffleboard courts and one of those little picnic shelters. A regional rec center has a sports pool and all of the above. The adult pool/mail station is another thing entirely.

AAC member and CDD 4 Supervisor Don Deakin said that Moyer, in a presentation to CDD 4 residents Tuesday at Mulberry Grove Recreation Center, indicated that The Villages is not obligated to construct recreation centers for the planned residences. However, Moyer has indicated that two recreation centers will be built by The Villages. He described the recreation centers as “a postal station and a pool.
Gary Moyer is Vice President of development for the Villages.

300 homes, not 1000 is what I read. Where did you get such a high number? I don't think you could get 1000 homes on 60 acres. As for the golf numbers, when I look at the available tee times the majority open are above 466. Seems to me it should not be a problem.

Remember when you took a tour on the village trolley and the tour guide would ask, “does anybody know what pickle ball is”? Then the tour guide would tell how great the sport is and we have it right here in The Villages.

Pickle ball is out, with the coming of the new rec centers, the tour guides will be promoting “Playing Post-office”.

Please refer to the Rec News, as you are describing a family pool/rec center sometimes referred to as Village rec centers. Neighborhood pools are adult pools for villagers and guests over 30 years of age. Neighborhood pools are located at the mail stations and usually only have bocce or shuffleboard courts.

I'd hate to think that you could possibly be wra, wra, wra, wrong, but in this case you are. There are three levels of rec centers according to Mr. Moyer. Your basic Pool and Mail Center is called a Neighborhood Rec Center. Examples would be Calumet and Springdale. The next level up is called a Village Rec Center. An example would be Chatham Rec Center. It is as you describe above. The largest is the Regional Rec Center and is like Mulberry and Laurel.

There will be an increase of 6% in the population of District 4 with no increase in Pickleball courts, Tennis courts, Bocce Courts, Shuffle Board Courts, Horseshoe courts, golf courses, meeting rooms, or picnic shelters. Now I'm pretty sure there isn't a chance for more golf up our way, but it does seem fair to expect at least a 6% increase in the other activities, especially meeting/game rooms.

neighborhood pools have one bocce, one shuffle board and one horseshoe pit. The problem with the northern neigborhoods is that they have always lacked amenities. TV didn't start putting in sufficient amenities until they crossed 466 in the tall trees and belvedere areas.

[lynne]

Yes, a postal station and a pool. AND, 300+ more cars plus their company and 300 golf carts to add more congestion. I would also like to know how they are getting approval from the powers that be for the water they will need. Then the 200 acres on 466A in wildwood - more water usage. Time for them to leave FL and go to another state and start another "Villages". Spread out the population and the demand on utilities - they'll still make more money than they need.
