I played shuffleboard, Bocci Ball, and used the swimming pools. Never got around to horseshoes. Did some putting practice on golf courses. Avoided pickle ball.
Your 80% figure seems odd to me. I play intermediate-level pickleball three times a week and have seen three people fall in four years, and they weren't hurt.
