Outdoor table tennis is a proven winner for local governments, business improvement districts (BIDs) and place-based organisations.


Free-to-use POPP outdoor table tennis tables are fast-becoming the go-to park, plaza and open space feature for communities that prioritise social, active and playful environments.  Why does outdoor table tennis work so well in public environments?


  • Social - table tennis is a community-building catalyst that fosters instant connections from the first bounce (especially for children and young people)
  • Active -  table tennis is exercising without “exercising” #IFYKYK
  • Playful - you can’t help but smile playing table tennis. Try it!
  • Fun - table tennis is a stand out winner for its pick-up-and-play fun nature (for the first-timer or seasoned pro)
  • Compact - the playing area for a POPP table can be as little as 15m2  / 210sq ft
  • Easy to purchase and install - a fraction of the cost of a skatepark or basketball court, POPP table tennis tables are either ready to play at delivery (HERO and HEROall) or assembled in under an hour (ICON and HEROair) - and there is a model for every type of location
  • Easy to use - with low hurdles to play - be it skill, age, gender, equipment costs or injury risks - table tennis is truly the game for everybody
  • Inclusive and inviting - table tennis boasts an intergenerational (from 8 to 80 years) and gender-equal  nature - especially when compared to skate parks, basketball courts and other active outdoor spaces designed (traditionally) for boys and men
  • Permanent - POPP outdoor table tennis tables are weatherproof, engineered for the great outdoors, can utilise tamper-proof fasteners (ICON and HEROair) and can all be anchored for added security
  • Low maintenance - with a no-compromise approach to heavy duty, industrial materiality, fabrication, fastening and surface treatment, POPP outdoor table tennis tables are specifically designed as a low maintenance







“The POPP ® tables have seen constant use. Friends will often meet for lunch in the park then adjourn for a couple of games of ping pong before heading back to their jobs. Other users include a steady stream of students on their way home from school and pet owners out walking their dogs. Community members tend to congregate where they feel safe and where there is laughter, and in both cases the ping pong tables cater for that!”.

- David Gibson, Walla Walla




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


With POPP ® and outdoor table tennis, over 3,000 communities have achieved improved community engagement and place activation by fostering inclusivity (gender, skill and age), physical activity, creativity and design. Originally designed as a canvas for public art, POPP ® table tennis hubs are known informally as ‘Ping Pong Placemaking’. By partnering with local artists to create ‘playable art’, supporting ‘local champions’ to build player communities from the group up, or coordinating masterclasses, POPP ® tables offer a measurable ROI and lasting connections.

The benefits of successful placemaking are far-reaching:







Like public art? Like ping pong? Did you know you can have both?!


Through community-driven artwork, the POPP concept of Public Playable Art can bring life, colour and authenticity into a community space. Utilising POPP tables as a canvas for public art, and collaborating with local artists and designers, local governments, BIDs and place-based organisations are able to develop a grassroots place identity that is unique, appealing and capable of visual, place-relevant story-telling.

Designed for DIY (Do It Yourself) Artwork, all POPP outdoor table tennis 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.
