Outdoor ping pong tables by POPP are a proven way to create engaging, social and active spaces in your school or community.

Since 2009, our outdoor ping pong tables have helped foster inclusivity, creativity and physical activity in and across diverse communities and schools - bringing public and private spaces to life through ping pong, colour and art.

Known as ‘Ping Pong Placemaking’ outdoor ping pong tables in public spaces - together with other placemaking and community-building strategies - foster authentic, active and engaging places that generate real and measurable value for communities. And this value increases over time - each rally, each game and each day building on the last.

At POPP, we have unpacked, honed and distilled over 15 years of experiences, customer feedback and hands-on expertise into a wonderfully concise program - we named it Play Daily (email us at [email protected] to find out more or check out our FAQ here). By ‘playing daily’ we see more people searching out, visiting, lingering and actively using these public spaces - in turn bringing more safety, familiarity and connectedness. The benefits from successful placemaking are far-reaching:

Increases nearby property values by up to 22%*¹

$1 of investment in public space equates to $20.84 worth of economic benefit*²

Fosters inter-community connectivity and cultivates long-term engagement

Reduces crime and violence rates and creates safer places to play and relax*³

When inactive adults become active, $76.6bn of potential healthcare savings emerge*⁴

Attractive communities are where people want to live, work and play*⁵

Increases views and place visitation from Google maps through 'places of interest'.

Creates destination place 'hubs'. (FYI - on average approximately 2 POPP tables are ordered per location in Australia.)
