Love this Villages Rec Center. You have to be a villager to use the inside facilities, but anyone…read morecan sit outside and enjoy the boardwalk and back porch. It's not obvious when you drive by what a gem this rec center is out back. I highly recommend taking a nice cup of coffee or iced tea and going around back to sit on the porch. They have ceiling fans, large Adirondack chairs and a fabulous view of Lake Okahumpka and nature. One of my favorite places to read a book or the paper and just relax. There is also a small boardwalk that goes out over the water and a fire pit with chairs. If you live in the Villages and have an ID, you can also borrow the checkers/chess to play on the outside tables or play darts or a video game inside.

Not GM, NOT I will be with you in a moment...needless to say I was offended and it ruined my workout. So, today I walk in and there are 4 people behind counter (approx 10:26 am), and as I go to scan my card, the woman in front of computer abruptly takes scanner off counter...not one person even acknowledged me. I am a Village employee and I can assure you this is not acceptable behavior. Needless to say I will not be going back!

We were driving to Ocala months ago when my gal wanted me to stop for coffee. We were flying up the turnpike and wit a quick map search I saw a Dunkin Donuts off the next exit. I followed the route and as I got closer I realized I was in the villages. She didn't know what that was, so I didnt say anything. When we parked just outside the square she said, "wow what a great square, where is this?" I just pantomimed like I didn't know and we parked and walked into the plaza. there were dozens and dozens of booths. We were there right when it opened at 9am so not that many patrons yet but the vibe was amazing. Smiles were everywhere. We have been back many times(including this past weekend). We cant seem to pass on a Saturday without stopping. either for the bread, produce, mushrooms, empanadas or small gifts for family. It's always a win.
