Is Gilpin Park, Brunswick your local park for jogging, dog-handling, golf-ball chipping, play-swinging, kite flying, off-season aerial skiing training, sandcastle building or upside-down handstand-walking? Yes? Well then, you can now add outdoor ping pong to that list. The City of Moreland was keen to bring to their community the individual and social benefits of the game that used to be called Whiff-Whaff. Ah, the English and their funny terms. Codswallop, gobbledegook, higgledy-piggledy and now whiff-whaff. Cheerio.

The City of Fremantle was the first place in Australia to officially install a POPP table. Boom credit. A progressively-minded Mayor and a perfect location (underneath some gargantuan Moreton Bay fig trees and opposite a local record store establishment) has given two of our tables a home in the port city. Add ‘playing ping pong on public art’ to the list of things to do in Fremantle. The tables are an easy find in Kings Square.

We’ve just taken our first breaths online. It’s very exciting. We will be providing you with all you need to know, right here, about the playing of ping pong, out there. We hope you all enjoy the simple joys that are found in playing ping pong outdoors, in public and on what we hope will be some very imaginative and inspiring art-adorned tables.
