With our Play Daily Activation Programme, POPP guarantees the best outcome for every community POPP table.
The programme encourages and enables daily table tennis through an easy to adopt, step-by-step guide for councils and community partners. Presented as a programme of instructive initiatives, scheduled over a two year period, the programme shares an evidence-based toolkit to activate, promote and support every public POPP table and table tennis community.
Through the development of a sustainable and strong place identity, Play Daily connects community members and table visitors to free-to-play table tennis and offers communities an engaging, activated placemaking feature.
Delivering a successful Play Daily programme will result in sustained place activation and community engagement through:

A known outdoor table tennis table;
Community-knowledge of the BYO equipment nature of outdoor table tennis;
Pick Up and Play games with a fun-first, friendly environment;

Table Locals as it becomes a place for regular players or to meet, connect and play together - both casually and competitively.

Made for Play

Planning where to put a POPP table?
With over 1500 community installations, we have acquired a mountain of evidence around what place dynamics matter most in creating a successful outdoor table tennis location.
And we are more than happy to share it through our Made for Play place scorecard.
Made for Play helps councils and community partners better understand their space or space options by identifying and scoring various place dynamics (in short - everything that make up that particularly physical space; they are specific to the location, environment and community which means the place dynamics of every space are unique, too!).
Calculating your Made for Play score will involve identifying the key features of the place dynamics including:

Man-made features in or near the playing area
Natural features in or near the playing area
Amenities and other community elements and places within walking distance
Complementary facilities that exist (or are planned to exist) near the space

Public Playable Art

Through community-driven artwork, the concept of Public Playable Art POPP brings life, colour and authenticity into a community space. Utilising POPP tables as a canvas, and collaborating with local artists and designers, councils are able to develop a grassroots place identity that is both unique, appealing and a captive means for visual story-telling.
Designed for DIY (Do It Yourself) Artwork, all POPP tables can have original artwork, typography, patters, logos, mottos, slogans and messages applied to their surface. DIY Artwork is applied or coordinated by the customer onsite after delivery using the DIY Artwork guidelines and checklists supplied with every table.

Hot Tip!

For the best results - create artwork for the sides and net only - keeping the playing surface clear for players from the casual to the (highly) competitive! Want some inspiration? Here a few awesome artists that have created Public Playable Art on POPP tables:
