Table Tennis Outdoors
Friends of Wimbledon Park helped install an outdoor table tennis table. Currently situated next to the Beach Volleyball Courts, this is free to use – bring your own bats and balls.
A second table is planned and at this point both tables will be located on the hard standing near to the tennis courts.
🏓We know it’s been a while in coming but the Table Tennis table now has matting at either end of it. This will provide players with a safe playing environment. Our thanks to Lucy, Damian and friends for voluntarily laying the matting for us - a job well done, thank you🏓 pic.twitter.com/JLf7Gp3uBa
