The Royal Dalton House, and an enclave of 55+ senior residences named Deer Park Cottages. While Deer Park is centrally located within Sugarmill Woods, it was not part of the original plan and has its own association with restrictive covenants. Playgrounds, sidewalks, and bicycle paths In a 2012 video interview for the Sugarmill Woods Civic Association, Greenbelt Gazette editor Norman Wagy segues developer Jim Sanders by stating money was a factor for the omission of playgrounds and sidewalks. Sanders said "Yeah, we would have liked to have had more playgrounds, and more sidewalks, and things for people to enjoy and ride their bikes on, and, you can only afford so much." Governance organizations and clubs Owner associations The mix of property types in Sugarmill Woods dictated that the main associations be designated as Property Owners Associations (POA) instead of Homeowner Associations (HOA). The POAs are Cypress Village, Oak Village, and Southern Woods. The Hammocks, Oakleaf, and Fairway Woods have their own recorded HOAs, while Cypress Run, Pinewood Gardens, Springwood, 3rd Fairway Condominiums I & II, The Villas at Beechwood Point, Pinewood and Fairway Run are condominium associations. The POAs, certain HOAs and condo associations, administer and enforce their own restrictions and bylaws. They are typically structured to include a board of directors and several committees dedicated to the various concerns of the organization, such as Architectural Control, Rules & Regulations, Deed Restrictions, Common Areas, Finance, Public Safety, and Communications. In Cypress Village, elected board directors are permitted to serve two consecutive 3-year terms without a maximum number of terms, while committee members serve at the pleasure of the Board of Directors by invitation, and without term limits.
