Bear Island homeowners are also members of the umbrella organization called The Villages of Palm Beach Lakes Property Association, Inc. , or Villages POA, which is responsible for maintaining the street medians and parks, tennis courts and three swimming pools for the homeowners and lessees in the various communities that comprise the Villages.

There’s also a jogging trail, kiddie pool and a 148,000-gallon swimming pool. The park also has two picnic tables and a charcoal grill (available on a first-come first-served basis), as well as a recreation room that can be reserved for HOA meetings or small gatherings.
