I have no problem with making this available to handicap folks, older adults, but otherwise I'm opposed to adding these to any of the FL SPs. And definitely against allowing teenagers driving them. I don't care if they have a license or not. Young kids are always riding their bikes around and often on the wrong side of the street -- young drivers are less likely to be prepared for this. Plus it's just plain annoying to have carts zipping around.

Now I know why I saw people (including kids) driving golf carts this past 4th of July weekend at Lake Kissimmee State Park.
I didn't know this was going to happen.
I think if you have a handicap sticker for driving and parking your camper, then you should be allowed to use your golfcart - otherwise my vote is "NO......
I will email the state park system now about my concern.
There WERE kids driving those carts and if one hits my truck or camper then I truly won't be a happy camper!
