Bocce gives residents another social outdoor option and is available as one of Lincoln Prairie's association-supported recreational activities.
No Additional Court Charge for Residents

Walking Trails, Ponds & Outdoor Spaces
Lincoln Prairie's amenities extend outdoors through walking routes, landscaped common areas and scenic water features.
Del Webb identifies walking trails as part of the community's amenity package, providing another way for residents to enjoy the neighborhood beyond organized recreation.
The association rules explain that the community's ponds, streams and water areas are primarily aesthetic, wetland, mitigation, preservation or storm-water management areas rather than recreational lakes.

Court availability is subject to season, weather, maintenance and current association operating procedures.
Always Verify Current Schedules
Amenity hours, programs and activity schedules can change. Residents receive current operational information directly from the association, while buyers should treat published schedules as a general reference rather than a permanent guarantee.

Residents Accompany Guests
Residents are responsible for their guests and generally must remain nearby while guests use community amenities.
Some Guest Uses Have Fees
Current rules provide for guest fees in certain situations, with exceptions for some association-sponsored activities and brief facility tours.
Designated Children's Pool Hours
Current rules establish specific children's pool hours and require resident supervision when guests under age 19 use permitted community facilities.
How Much Will You Actually Use the Amenities?
Lincoln Prairie's amenity package is substantial, but the best community is not simply the one with the longest amenity list.
When I help buyers compare 55+ communities, I recommend thinking about which amenities will realistically become part of your weekly routine.
If you enjoy fitness, swimming, pickleball, walking and organized activities, Lincoln Prairie offers many of those opportunities inside the community. Buyers who prefer a quieter lifestyle can still enjoy the setting without needing to participate in every club or event.
That balance — access to activities without an obligation to participate — is one of the advantages of evaluating the community lifestyle separately from the individual home.
Questions I Would Ask on a Community Tour
Which amenities would you actually use? Do you prefer organized activities or independent recreation? Is year-round indoor swimming important? Would pickleball or fitness classes become part of your routine? How important are walking trails and outdoor gathering spaces?
