Disney’s BoardWalk Villas offers so much more than a cozy place to rest between park days — it’s a vibrant waterfront entertainment district with activities to delight all ages. Here’s your insider, 600‑word guide to the best experiences nearby:

 Poolside Fun & Recreation

• Luna Park Pool: A carnival‑themed delight featuring a 200‑foot “Keister Coaster” water slide, whimsical elephant fountains, and daily games/relays — perfect for a midday splash. Three pools in total, including two quieter leisure pools for a more relaxed dip.
• Pickleball & Tennis: Join a free pickleball clinic (Fridays, 9–10 AM) or grab complimentary racquets for tennis at the two nearby lit courts.
• Community Hall Activities: At the Ferris W. Eahlers Community Hall (10 AM–10 PM), find video & board games, billiards, and art workshops (tie‑dye, mosaics, ceramics) with low‑fee crafts.

 Outdoor Adventures

• Surrey Bike Rentals: Cruise Crescent Lake with friends or family on a 2‑ or 4‑person surrey bike — scenic and fun.
