Ping Pong in Melbourne

Melbourne has 16 mapped tables, and street-level naming makes up most of the sample: Deakin Street, Union Loop Road, Kelson Street, Synnot Street, and Baxter Street all show simple outdoor tables placed in residential areas rather than dedicated sports facilities. Croydon Outdoor Table extends the map out to the citys eastern suburbs. Mason Street and Barry Street round out the sample with two more everyday neighbourhood spots. Melbournes changeable weather means it is worth checking the forecast before heading out, since a sunny morning can turn into rain by afternoon, especially outside the main summer months. Every table sampled is free, outdoor, and public, so bring your own bat and ball since nothing is supplied on site. League of Spin maps all of Melbournes tables and shows recent activity, useful for finding a game whether you are closer to the centre or out toward Croydon in the east.
