They are common place in Europe. ONe youngster who was involved in gangs got into table tennis and it turned his life around (he's now a champion table tennis player and helps other kids who were in a similar circumstance to him to take up the game). In a local youth centre near where I live there are indoor tables and they are often used.So don't be such a grump! ;-) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/10777-table-tennis-tables-in-dulwich-park/page/2/#findComment-319446 Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrsR Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Absolutely love them but they would have been better on the rubber play surface rather than the grass.

HueyM Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 shame on whoever decided that putting wood chip around the tables was a good idea!according to the contractors doing it it was done "cos the grass was too hard to mow under the tables".
