The Fourth Appellate District affirmed a judgment. The court held that recreational trails maintained by a common interest development on portions of its common area and connected to a larger system of trails maintained by other associations or by government entities were not a public accommodation as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act or state law.
Orange Park Community Association (OPCA), a common interest development, maintained and exercised control over a series of recreational trails on portions of the association’s “common area” as defined by state statute. The trails bordered two OPCA residential developments in Orange Park Acres. OPCA’s trails connected to a larger system of trails that were maintained by other associations or by government entities, such as Orange County and nearby municipalities.
