I am not the smartest guy in the Villages, Heck. I am probably not even in the top 50%. I do have a question and hope for a sensible answer. I was a avid user of the polo fields grounds. Walking, flying model airplanes and kites weekly. As of today the polo grounds are closed to all activities. Most were used by persons not having even a remote possibility of people gathering together.. As of today, we can go to any restaurant and be seated with conditions but none the less, seated and dine. Please explain why we can eat with others not wearing masks or gloves, yet we cannot walk, fly kites or any activity where the wearing of masks would be so easy.

Have contacted those in charge of the Polo fields with your question? There could be a simple and reasonable reason.

1. Sometimes the people who make rules are dumb as rocks.
2. The people who own it figure there is zero revenue from walkers, kite flyers etc so why keep it open and pay someone to monitor use.

Funny way of saying "Thank you" for allowing us to use it for free all this time. It doesn't belong to us..... it's private property that has been open and maintained for the nearly 16 years we have lived here. Maybe the Family sees ZERO thanks for that from some people.

Please let us all know when YOU build your Polo Grounds and open it for everyone to use.

You hit the nail on the head.

Don’t the developers own the polo fields?

No the tents have been down for several days now.
The sign says polo fields are closed but the gate is open. In the past when the polo fields were closed they also closed the gates.
People like to use the track for walking.

I believe there was a rumor floating around at the end of last year that that land was being converted for a high end development project. 💰💰💰💰💰

[Maude Hall]

Not sure if this could be the reason, but in the past May has been polo month. Could they be getting ready to still have polo, but due to current events had to change things around? Just a thought. but then again, just a thought is how rumors start. Have a nice day

I join you in your request to have the developers reopen the Polo Grounds. I know it is their private property, but it is probably the safest place on the entire north side of The Villages for outdoor activities. Plenty of separation for walks, bike rides, dog walks, etc. with little chance of being hit by a golf cart.

Please consider, owners, and thank you for making your property available to us in the past.

laughing at the silliness of this whiney OP complaining that somebody took something away from him....and they don't understand why

you should complain to the school boards that you want to be able to use the football fields while you're at it
...at least you could argue that your tax dollars in some small way fund it

[EviesGP]

Sorry, OP, but you should know by now that once you entertain even the slightest question on this forum, you'll get responses from the usual smarmy trolls, who hang out here, waiting to pounce, and add their comments. The owners intended to create this place for the enjoyment and greatest experience of the residents, so merely asking about the status of this facility is quite reasonable. Just ignore these idiots, and take note who they are. You'll see them again. Cheers!
