Ad-hoc dog parks in The Villages

To the Editor:

My family has been going to the retention pond near the The Villages Regional Hospital, and Freedom Pointe for months. It is a great group of responsible people, well behaved dogs, and one retired USAF veteran who cleans up after everyone, willingly, and no complaints. Our time there is a highlight of being Villagers, and our day. Residents visit, exercise, and our pets have fun. It is the United Church of Dog, an anagram, and the reason we are Florida’s Friendliest Hometown.
I have read that our golf carts are ruining the grass, aren’t we also a golf cart community. Saw it on a sign on El Camino Real. Please find me a paved golf course. Last, I’m not judgmental but I have found it tells me more about a person if they do not like dogs. Fences may make good neighbors but open gates make better friends, and a better friendly hometown.
