I think one lawn/arena for the cul-de-sac is fine. If I had 7 friends, spouses, and kids in that, we’d be playing pick up football/lacrosse/hurley/rugby/ultimate-frisbee all the time.
Yeah the lots should be reconfigured for better utilization. The backsets on the detached units could be reduced, and the buildings clustered to the right/back corner of the property. The Street could be replaced by a laneway on the property line next to the cluster of homes, freeing up the entire left/front for this common area, and garden/greenery etc
I have my DND group, so four there. Plus two more that participate regularly in our discord and hang out periodically.
So six friends, plus spouses so that’s 7 houses occupied.
If any of them elected to keep grass instead of native plants and trees they are out of the cul-de-sac.
