Default Help a newbie. How do events work and amenities at the rec centers work.

I've only bought a house this August and I will only be there a few weeks at a time over the next 2 years while we finish up our careers. I'm a bit of an introvert when I don't know how things work. Much more outgoing when I'm comfortable.

Anyhow, I see calendar of events on the Villages page. I'm assuming, maybe incorrectly, maybe not, that these are all events booked by clubs of some sort and aren't just open events? Is that correct? Unfortunately on the website, clicking a link to an event doesn't provide any info. Example, is Walking Away the Pounds a club I'd need to join or is this just a group walk and anyone can show up.

Otherwise, is there equipment at the rec centers for things like bocci? If the court was free would it be possible to just get equipment and go play anytime it isn't booked for an event?

If I was down there I'm sure I could get all this info at a rec center, but hoping to be prepared before I'm there.

Any tips and info appreciated.
