Over 4 Million POPP table views on Google Maps!


POPP integrates its public table locations with Google Maps to provide a measurable engagement tool for communities and property managers. New POPP table locations can be used as a strategic placemaking step by property owers or managers to directly increase engagement in and visitation of public spaces.

To date, POPP table locations have recevied over 4 million views leading to table and park reviews, user-uploaded images and increased engagement online - resulting in increased visitation, longer stays and improved usage.

DIY Artwork


The original HERO outdoor table tennis table was designed as a blank canvas for public art. Since 2010, POPP and its customers have commissioned hundreds of local artists to create ‘artworked’ POPP tables across the world. Through creative, visual story-telling, public spaces have been redefined, reinvigorated and reimagined with playable art. First launched by POPP in Australia, the playable art concept has seen the company collaborate on an array of art projects - from Nike’s Headquarters and the Olympic Games to local community schools and neighbourhood parks. Today, POPP supports its customers in creating authentic, unique and community-driven DIY Artwork for their table.

Play Daily - a place activation program for POPP customers







To guarantee the best outcome for every POPP table, we developed the Play Daily Activation Program. Delivered over a two year period, with skills, knowledge and tools then available for the life of the table, Play Daily encourages and enables thousands (upon thousands) of daily table tennis moments - at every POPP table.

Play Daily is delivered to POPP customers and community partners as an easy to adopt, step-by-step guide. Presented as a program of strategic and instructive initiatives, it shares an evidence-based toolkit to activate, promote and proactively support the use of POPP tables and the growth of their table tennis communities.





The overarching goal of Play Daily is to create sustainable and socially strong places where community members and visitors connect, socialise and exercise through free-to-play (or ‘pick up and play’) table tennis. The benefits for the players are framed within physical, mental and social health outcomes. The benefits for customers and community partners centre around placemaking and place visitation.

Health + Fitness


Table tennis is both a brain game and incredibly physical. Featuring a fast-paced mix of aerobics, strategy and hand-eye coordination, table tennis combines both physical and mental exercise to achieve the ultimate in health and fitness.



Two people smiling and and laughing whilst playing outdoor ping pong




To dive a little deeper, outdoor ping pong delivers in leaps and bounds:

1.

Being a part of a social community that is not defined by age, gender or class improves your mental health and wellbeing.
2.

For young people, at the critical growth stage in their motor learning and development, ping pong helps develop neuromuscular skill, conditioned reflexes and prolonged concentration.
3.

Anticipating your opponent's shot engages the prefrontal cortex - a part of the brain used for strategic planning and decision making.
4.

Increased evidence supports a link between playing ping pong and the prevention or reduction of dementia and Alzheimer's disease.
5.

The aerobic exercise of ping pong stimulates the hippocampus - the part of your brain responsible for forming and retaining long-term facts and information.
6.

Increasing the flow of blood to your brain increases your motor skills and cognitive awareness.
7.

Playing ping pong develops mental acuity, alertness, concentration and tactical strategy.
8.

Rallies and practice improves your hand-eye coordination, balance and reflexes.
9.

The low-impact but physical nature of ping pong improves leg, arm and core strength without the high risk of injuries.
10.

The bursts of exertion and recovery in ping pong burns plenty of calories.

Case Study: Melbourne Level Crossing Removal Project 






Permanent Outdoor Table Tennis Tables by POPP at the Level Crossing Removal, Caulfield




        Between 2015 and 2018 Melbourne's rail system got an overhaul, promising safer crossings and new public spaces with the elevation of current railway lines, as well as rejuvenation of exisiting train stations and public hubs located adjacent to the railway. An intimate collaboration between ASPECT Studios and COX Architecture endeavoured to set a new benchmark for elevated rail in Australia.  
        The plan was set but there were skeptical locals who protested against what they expected to be an "ugly concrete flyover". The project wasn't like any that had been done before so it was hard to convince residents it would be otherwise. Fortunately since it's completion in 2019, they've warmed up to the changes and it's easy to see why.

"These civic projects provide a counterpoint – a confident expression of a rapidly changing social, cultural and economic landscape – and resolutely contribute to the social life of the city."

Timothy Moore, Curator of Contemporary Design and Architecture / Melbourne Design Week, NGV


The final product included a chain of 'activation nodes' which have been particularly embraced by communities. They include fitness stations, playgrounds, picnic areas, dog parks, skating, climbing, and gathering areas, and of course several HERO tables by POPP. The great benefit of these areas is their multigenerational nature, they are bringing people from different social and age groups together, building an even stronger sense of community and activity than before.
    The project has been so successful it has been included in the 'Melbourne Now' exhibition currently running at the National Gallery of Victoria. NGV curator Timothy Moore told The Age that award-winning civic and public infrastructure projects like the level crossing removal project deserved to be celebrated in a gallery. 'Melbourne Now' is currently running at the National Gallery of Victoria: Ian Potter Centre until 20 August, 2023. It includes 200+ contemporary projects and events showcasing some of the best painting, sculpture, architecture, performance and video coming out of Melbourne. Check it out! Or head to one of the Linear projects in  and play some table tennis.
    An incredibly proud moment seeing our tables feature prominently as part of the Melbourne Now exhibition 'Civic Architecture' – where award-winning civic projects are celebrated as works of art and catalysts for transformation in their neighbourhoods.


Among the five projects featured is the aforementioned Caulfield to Dandenong Level Crossings Removal, which included 6 of our flagship HERO tables placed across 3 linear parks and 22.5ha of open space.
    We're incredibly proud to be featured as part of this project, and as always, to be connecting healthy communities through the game of table tennis.
    Melbourne Now is running at the Ian Potter Centre at the National Gallery of Victoria until August 20, 2023. (Find the Civic Architecture projects on Level 3, with free entry from 10am to 5pm daily)

Case Study: Curtin University Exchange Precinct 



 

            Congratulations to REALMstudios whose master plan for the Curtin Exchange Innovation Precinct was recently recognised in 2022 AILA Landscape Architecture Awards - taking home the Health and Education category for WA!

The new ‘Exchange’ precinct has established a dynamic urban heart in Perth’s south, building on Curtin University’s campus core. Featured prominently among the multitude of recreational elements on the Banksia Common public access way are two HERO outdoor table tennis tables - ready to greet students and visitors alike!

The REALMstudios master plan has created a cohesive vision incorporating a generous and sustainable series of public & communal spaces in association with four significant new buildings:

  • School of Design & Built Environment Faculty building by John Wardle Architects,

  • Nesuto Hotel, Residential Apartments and mixed use building by Six Degrees

  • St Catherine's College student accommodation by Nettleton Tribe and

  • Twin Dolphin Hall student accomodation also by Nettleton Tribe

The innovative project followed a brief with several criteria addressing water use, public art, integration of Aboriginal culture and meaning, retention of existing trees, movement and connection networks, and more. The process has been a long and collaborative one reaching completion at the end of 2021, and the care and consideration has been very much worth it. 

Case Study: The University of Melbourne, Australia





Steel Weatherproof Ping Pong Table by POPP at Lisa Bellear House, University of Melbourne VIC




        Opening at the beginning of 2019, the University of Melbourne's student accommodation on Royal Parade has given rise to some 285 new rooms for both undergraduate and post graduate students living in the Victorian capital.

A leading example of contemporary inner-city student housing, the Royal Parade site boasts extensive indoor and outdoor communal areas, dedicated study spaces, a music rehearsal studio, games room, gymnasium, basketball court, POPP ICON table and more.

Featuring spacious indoor and outdoor communal areas, dedicated study spaces, a music rehearsal studio, games room, gymnasium, and more - 303 Royal Parade offers a full program of activities and social events to help students settle into their new home and build a strong sense of community.

The adaptive reuse of the existing Salvation Army Training facility via an extensive internal refurbishment, rear extension and facade rejuvenation has all been made within walking-distance of the University’s Parkville campus.

The regular program of activities and social events offered by the University helped inform the design and placement of the spacious indoor and outdoor communal areas, fostering a collegial and supportive atmosphere for students and visitors alike.


We were delighted to see an ICON table specified for this incredible placement and have since been overwhelmed by the positive response from the Royal Avenue residents.


For a project that was designed to provide the amenities and spaces that would enrich the student experience - we think it's pretty safe to say the outcome has been a royal success!

The Clean And Polish:
A Simple Guide To Keeping Your POPP Table In Top Condition 






        It's no secret that our tables are designed and manufactured to provide many years of use and enjoyment! But like anything painted or powder coated, a good clean can go a long way in restoring colours and prolonging and preserving the finish. To this end, POPP recommends customers maintain a regular schedule of inspection and cleaning.
        "So what does this involve?" We hear you ask. Well in short, the upkeep of out tables and their surface treatment is very much akin to that of a car: washing, polishing and buffing your table will breathe new life into the finish (as well as provide a fresh layer of UV protection!) 
        To demonstrate just how straightforward and easy this is, we paid a visit to a local ICON table in our community for a step-by-step maintenance walkthrough.



 
Steel Weatherproof Ping Pong Table by POPP at Donnie Taco, Kings Park in Perth



Originally installed in 2017 at Donnie Taco in Perth, WA, it had been some time between cleaning for this black and yellow ICON. And while the powder coated surface treatment is still in great condition - dirt, grime and scuff marks from racquets have managed to build up on the playing surface over the years. (All very normal things to be expected from a well-loved table!)


Now, watch on as we transformed this table with a simple Clean and Polish - in about 30 minutes...


Step 1: Gather The Essentials.

First up, stock your arsenal with the right tools for the job! Sprucing up a POPP table doesn't require any specialist equipment, and you'll be able to find most of the following at any good auto or hardware store

  • 1x soft, microfibre cloth or sponge.

  • 1x soft cloth or rag (to apply wax).

  • 1x clean cloth or tea towel (to use as a polishing / buffing cloth).

  • Some mild liquid dish or car washing detergent.

  • Any high-grade, non-abrasive car wax (use a brand that contains a UV blocker or UV inhibitors). This time we used Meguiar's Polishing Compound.


Optional and safety extras:

  • Protective rubber gloves.

  • An electric buffer.

  • A soft to medium bristle brush (if stubborn grime is present).




Step 2:  Wipe And Scrub.

Give the table good wipe down and sweep away dust, sand, leaves or other loose bits of residue that might have collected on the table's surface between games. Then, don the rubber gloves and get to work by scrubbing any areas of grime or salt deposits that might have built up on the playing surface. For this, we'll need a dilute solution of a mild liquid detergent in warm water and a soft cloth.

Once clean, leave to dry or pat down with an old towel.




PRO-TIP: An abrasive scrubbing brush (not a scourer) can be used on stubborn build-ups, however please be sure to only use a medium or soft bristled brush that won't scratch the table surface! (If in doubt, you can always test the brush on a small, inconspicuous area such as the underside of the playing surface.)
Step 3: Wax On. Wax Off.

Now that the table surface is clean and dry, we're ready to apply a protective polish / wax coat. Today we're using Meguiar's 'Clear Coat Safe Polishing Compound' but any high-grade non-abrasive car wax will do the trick. (Just don't use compound-type waxes - this type of wax contains abrasives that can harm the powder coating.)

Start with a small section of the table (approximately one 8th of the playing surface) and using a soft cloth or rag, rub a light coating onto the surface using gentle circular motions. Once applied evenly, use your buffing cloth (or electric buffer) to get your Ralph Maggio on and wipe away excess wax for a nice, polished finish.

Proceed to the next section of the playing surface and repeat as above until the whole table is complete. Be sure to wipe off any globs of wax that remain on the surface as you go - if any wax remains on the coated surface, it could bake into place under the sun's ultraviolet light, leading to permanent staining!




PRO-TIP: A soft, clean cloth and some good old fashioned elbow grease will suffice here, but if you can get your hands on an electric buffer (pictured above) waxing and buffing becomes a breeze!



For the final details, you can use your microfibre cloth and buffer to get in and around all the fiddly areas such as the net and frame if required.

Councils 


Connect and engage your community with free-to-use POPP outdoor table tennis tables.
    With age, skill and ability no barrier to play - plus the gender-equal nature of the game - table tennis’ spontaneous ‘pick up and play’ nature provide communities ongoing, daily active-social opportunities.
    On top of their community-driven use - with the help of POPP’s Play Daily Activation Programme, local governments can layer both table tennis and place-activation programming (including transforming the table into Public Playable Art) to ensure every table hits above their average!
On this page - you will learn about:

  1. Play Daily - our table tennis table-led place activation programme 12 years in the making!
  2. Made for Play - our evidence-based place scorecard that identifies and scores the activation and engagement strengths and weaknesses of an outdoor community space.
  3. Public Playable Art - an introduction to and explainer of the concept of DIY public playable art we introduced way back in 2010.
  1. HERO (and HEROall) - our most popular outdoor table tennis table for public parks and community spaces.
  2. Council FAQs - some of our most commonly asked questions from our council customers.

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:


  1. Man-made features in or near the playing area
  2. Natural features in or near the playing area
  3. Amenities and other community elements and places within walking distance
  4. Complementary facilities that exist (or are planned to exist) near the space
  1. Current users
  2. Current uses
  3. Desired users
  4. Desired uses
  5. Activation and engagement inhibitors
  6. Activation and engagement opportunities

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:

Tim Meakins
Minna Leunig

"[The tables have] created a place to socialise ... during lunch and even after school. The accepted Applecross rule is playing first to three points ... winner stays on. This gives quick and rapid change overs so that everyone gets a turn to play. With the addition of two new tables, it has definitely given more people the opportunity to participate. I can see that it has brought lots of joy for a lot of people in our school!"

- Andrew Lim, Deputy Head Boy, Applecross Senior High Schoool (4x HERO tables and counting)
"The tables will last a long time and they look good. Easy to clean and absolutely solid - teenager proof!"

- Rebecca Hoad, Coordinator of Academic Administration, Saint Ignatius' College Riverview
"The POPP table has been fantastic for the students, they are often using it after school as well as during recess and lunch time. My only issue is that it looks like I need to buy at least two more to cater for the demand."

- David Caught, Assistant Principal, Hallam Senior College
"We had a lot of fold up tables spread across ... our large campus, but their capacity to stand up to the level of use and exposure to the elements was pretty limited. The POPP [HERO] tables not only honoured the students' interest by offering a long-term commitment to the facilities they needed, they also gave us a more robust option as well as a really visually appealing addition to our built environment."

- Adam Pengelly, Associate Principal, Shenton College (9x HERO tables and counting)
"The table is a great asset to our playground and is enjoyed by our students each lunchtime and by the 170 students who attend after school care each day."
