And they shouldn’t be banned. And don’t say you should walk around your own yard for your dog to poop.

Not true. Further north you go the less nature and nature trails.

Edna's on the green truck stop and entertainment - so amazing. Country club food??? Too bad you are so far from coney island, o'shucks, cotillian, oakwood bbq, willies, reveille etc. The soon to be finished boardwalk and water activies that will be at okahumpka. Yeah we may not have as many big box stores that are in lady lake but i am just fine with only having to travel there once in a while to do a big shop than have to deal with that regular traffic....or better yet hop on the turnpike and get the best stores like costco and ikea a short drive towards orlando. Love having the ability to have all my gas appliances in our newer areas - they cook better and dry clothing better and way cheaper than electric. All areas have their + and - qualities but writing off an area that you really know nothing about is both inaccurate and unkind. Get your facts straight before you start bashing the newer areas.

amen. Well said

I live in Linden and have a family pool and a adult only pool, both within half mile of me. Riverbend family pool and the adult pool is by the Monarch Grove postal center. In the new villages, we are more social and like to be friendly and share the pool with neighbors from within the villages.

I don't know how anyone north or south has time to live a fun filled live with all the bashing of each other. People, we all live in the same beautiful big community and should be happy for each other. As each of your children were born, you probably did something better but does that mean that you love the older ones less? Just remember, at the rate The Villages is growing, your part of it will become obsolete in no time. As far as living in the south to get away from the old people, there are 80 year olds that can run rings around the much younger folks! Be happy where you are or move. That's what's so great about the good ole USA!!!

Linden and Linden Isle have family and adult pools on Corbin Tr. Everglades sports pool is nearby.

This whole thread is ridiculous. Smh

[Laker14]

This is the perfect thread. It combines the "North vs. South" amenities debate with a dog poop conversation. Pure genius!

Now, please, nobody spoil it with a political spin and get it deleted.

There are the Village Rec Centers, but those are family pools. In the past, when a new village was started, the first thing built was the postal station and neighborhood pool. Has this become a thing of the past?

We live in St. John’s near the new(taking forever) rec center. Just scoot across the water lily bridge and you will be looking at another Rec center and a pool. Not sure what type but my wife says it’s nice.

The sign that forbids dogs at the St. Cats postal station and recreation area is just to the left of the mailboxes. How did you not see it?

Citrus Grove has the same sign. The signs have a drawing of a leashed dog with a line through it, which means dogs are banned.

We prefer adult only pool, so our peaceful swim is not disrupted by screaming/splashing kids like I saw at Fenney. So loving life at DeLuna!!

That's a good question and an astute observation, yes there are fewer pools being built in the new neighborhoods. Also, I can't get over all the nasty responses from your neighbors in " The friendliest town in America ".

Hmmmm, I thought that sign indicated that only off leash dogs are allowed?
