Play outdoor table tennis safely
Updated Jan 5th 2021
Following the Government announcement of a national lockdown, please note that while some Ping! outdoor tables may be still accessible we strongly advise that you do not play on them.
The advice given on this page is, therefore, not relevant presently.
However it may apply when the national lockdown is over and will be dependent on the guidelines given at this time.
Our guidance when using outdoor table tennis tables is:
Players should wipe down the table before and after use with their own antibacterial wipes
Players should bring and use their own bats and balls. This equipment should not be shared with others. If playing with a person not from their household, two different balls should be used (e.g. using two different colour balls) so players only need to handle their own ball
A distance of 2m between players and others should be kept at all times
Avoid handshakes or other physical contact
If you are showing coronavirus symptoms, or if you or any of your household are self-isolating, you should stay at home and not use such facilities
Players should use one side of the table and not swap ends

Hi,
Do you still have open tables in Oxford?
Thank you.
Hi Shakeel
Yes the outdoor Oxford tables are now available to play on, just visit the Ping places to play map https://www.pingengland.co.uk/#placestoplay and put your postcode in, make sure ‘outdoor tables’ is ticked (untick everything else) and it will reveal all the outdoor tables near you.
thanks
Julie
hi there myself and brother in law are starting to get into table tennis due to lockdown as our form of exercise which we are both enjoying we are using the outdoor table at the braunstone leisure centre which we are finding very good and challenging due to the wind as it blows a gale down there the reason for my message is have you please got a list of where you have outdoor tables that are available during the pandemic until we can eventually book an indoor table at a leisure centre many regards and look forward to your reply if u can help chris
Hi Chris, great you are playing table tennis. There are several outdoor tables in the Leicester area, visit our Ping! map https://www.pingengland.co.uk/#placestoplay and put in your postcode. Make sure ‘outdoor tables’ is ticked (untick everything else) and you’ll be able to see the tables local to you. Some leisure centres are now opening for indoor table tennis bookings so might be worth you making enquiries at your local centre.
best wishes
Julie
Do you have any tables in and around Tw19.
Hi Rebecca, all the tables we know about are on the Ping! map, if you can’t see any then unfortunately no it looks like there arent any. You may find your local sports centre offers table tennis. If you do discover an outdoor table in your area, please let us know and we will be happy to add it to the map
regards
Ping!
