The ordinance passed by the Wildwood City Commission show this, in part. It's long, but it essentially identifies a primary recreation center (I can only guess that it will be what we call a village rec center - like a Sterling Heights or Captiva), two neighborhood recreation centers (probably neighborhood pools), various trails, MMPs, and parks, 9 or 18 holes of golf.
Quote:
2. Amenities: The numbers and types of amenities for the residential neighborhoods of Wildwood Springs have been integrally master planned with the development, based on experience with proportional amenity provisions for communities of similar scale and character. These amenities shall include:
a. The primary recreation center offering active and passive recreation opportunities, comprising approximately 17.5 acres, and providing community-scale meeting and group activity spaces with a catering kitchen; an interpretive center and natural preservation/park area of about (4)4 acres around Fenney Springs; active sports facilities such as pickleball, shuffleboard, and bocce ball; large swimming pool; passive park and picnic areas; and pedestrian paths connecting to the network of multi-modal and nature trails throughout the Project.
b. Two (2) neighborhood recreation centers offering active and passive recreation opportunities, each comprising approximately 1.4 to 1.7 acres, and providing a postal pick-up, neighborhood-scale gathering spaces; active sports facilities such as shuffleboard and bocce ball; swimming pool; passive park and picnic areas; and pedestrian paths connecting to the community's network of multi-modal and nature trails.
c. A linear park integrated with the main roadway through the community, featuring a 12' multi-modal trail from pedestrians and cyclists meandering through a 42' landscape-buffered tract, as the main greenway connecting other amenities, open space areas, and the integrated network of pedestrian trails throughout the community.
d. An extensive passive park flanking the main roadway, across from the primary recreation center, comprising approximately 3.5 acres of landscaped open space and picnic areas, with pedestrian paths connecting to the community's network of multi-modal and nature trails; this linear park will provide a central greenway linking the open space areas and ponds designed to flank the roadway, and all of the active and passive recreation amenities throughout the Project.
e. A passive park comprising approximately 11 acres incorporating the Live Oak hammock at the main project entry, consisting of spacious landscaped open space areas and pedestrian paths connecting to the network of multi-modal and nature trails throughout the community.
f. At least three (3) other natural preservation/park areas of approximately 1.8, 4.0, and 9.6 acres respectively, directly accessible from the linear park/greenway along the Project's main roadway, offering passive recreation and pedestrian paths connected to the community-wide network of trails; the 1.8 and 9.6 acre parks will be integrated with the two (2) neighborhood recreation areas, the larger one being situated around a unique geological feature within an existing Live Oak hammock.
g. For the southwestern-most part of the Project where natural determinants could limit the opportunities and cost feasibility of residential development, a 9- or 18-hole executive golf course may be created as a significant open space/recreation amenity. The course would utilize from at least thirty (30) acres to a maximum of eighty (80) acres, designed to incorporate the visual quality and natural habitats of the site into a creative and attractive amenity, with the objective of attaining Audubon certification.
h. Nature trails providing passive recreation and nature/wildlife viewing opportunities for extensive preserve and wetland areas within the development; it is intended (to the extent agency permitting will allow) that these trails will include elevated boardwalks that will allow limited pedestrian access into some of the otherwise inaccessible wetland areas of the property.

Wildwood may become larger than Ocala if they can keep extending their city limits. As a golf cart tunnel under the Florida turnpike might be difficult and as I am pilot, I would enjoy using flying carts to travel between the two areas.

If you do that you might as well consider a service that also jumps between the squares. I'm guessing people would be willing to pay 2-3 bucks a ride for your air taxi service

Thinking about something like this quadcopter cart going less than 20 on the ground and then much, much faster in the air.

I am now glade someone thought to exclude tour busses from picking up people in the Villages proper as the Villagers of Fenney and other Villages further out unfortunately will need car parking spaces in the older Villages until other transportation ideas come to fruition.
