Really? You have to be told not to park on the grass next to the road when there is a parking lot for that purpose?

Can you believe it???

I think people drive crazy in golf carts. Since they now have to park with the cars in the parking lots, I think it will be more dangerous for the pedestrians walking from their cars to the entertainment. I'll be interested to see what happens.

Incidentally, the only time we park there is when we want to use the beautiful walking/biking trails along the lakes, but we park way in the back so golf cart traffic is not a problem for us.

This is something new? They've ALWAYS parked with the cars, all over TV...

The developer owns the property, he can choose rules, anytime, anywhere. Their house their rules.

It wasn’t a parking area, but those who felt special parked on the grass, sit in their golf cart with a view of the back of the boxcar, drinking whatever they packed in their cooler. It wasn’t a handicap parking, those are in the paved lot. Have never been to Sawgrass, that parking was not available.

Some just feel too special to park in the designated areas. Guessing they are also the chosen few who park in the fire lane when they go shopping.

In some cities there are companies that put boots on cars illegally parked on private property, usually business parking lots. It can be pretty expensive to pay the boot company the fee to remove the boot. The best way to get someone to comply with laws/ordnances is usually through their wallet.
There have been a few threads on this forum from people who are asking about what kind of business to start up. Here is your opportunity!

There is still plenty of room for them to park on the grass among the trees and shrubs and I'm sure you will see that the next busy evening.

Yeah, it is something new.

On the rare occasions we go to Brownwood, most golf carts want to park along the square or one of the roads, like right in front of City Fire. We park in one of the parking lots where there are very few carts.

At Sawgrass, cars and carts will be parking in the same lots. The way some cart drivers whip around, there might be more pedestrian injuries.

Yeah, that will really help with carts backing out in front of oncoming carts, people gathered on the MMP talking (oblivious to oncoming carts) or people walking across the MMP (again oblivious to oncoming carts), won’t it? Think!

To each their own; the grass wasn’t for people that are handicapped to park on. Why can’t people understand that? Let them get somewhere early enough to get a designated marked handicapped parking spot. Why should they get special privileges TO PARK ON GRASS?

So which of the 38 previous posts are you referring to? Kind of childish to miss that, wasn’t it?

Finding a handicap spot open in Fla. is like looking for ice in the Sahara. We occasionally go to McGrady's. The entrance is far from the parking lot for those with limited walking ability. Parking on the grass made the trip much shorter. Some day I hope the hyenas get to know what that's like.
