Default Can Villager Use Middleton Facilities?

I'm mostly thinking playgrounds when grandkids come to visit.

I would certainly like to think so since the Charter School swim team got to use the Laurel Manor sports pool for many many years?

A call to the school would give a quick answer………
Or should we all give our guesses?

A wide variety of people view these posts. There may very well be someone who knows. Besides- this is Social Media- the main purpose of which is to interact with others. The choice is to make a phone call- or engage with others and enjoy the variety of answers and nuances that happen in these engagements.

A question was asked. The main purpose of that is to get an answer. A correct one.

Wink Playgrounds are available

I have taken my grandson to play on the playgrounds, but the pool access is restricted. Once the splash pad is open, I believe that is open to all.

Default Good question! I do wonder how Middleton access works.

Middleton is being developed for the employees' families that are working in TV. I am curious to know if there are any restrictions on access or is everything public access?

No Middleton facilities are for Middleton only. As a matter of fact even their dog park you have to use Middleton resident gate key to get in. Middleton downtown will be open to all the commercial buildings even the splash pad will be open to al.

The playground is not behind a gate. It’s not being policed. It’s accessible just like any street in Middleton is accessible. It’s not part of the schools, and is no different than the playground across the street from Lake Sumter Landing in that it’s open to anyone.

Wait, do you want to spend money in these commercial establishments that they’re putting in Middleton but we cannot use the facilities in Middleton. I would say nobody goes down there and spend money.

So you're saying if they come to brownwood and spend money they can come to your neighborhood pool?

The residents of Middleton don’t have access to The Villages pools or Rec Centers.

Seems fair to me.
