There are a lot of games you can play at Bobby Morris Playfield and Cal Anderson Park — now add ping pong. Wednesday under a sunny evening sky, the park’s new ping pong table was warmed up for you with a party to celebrate the new feature installed by community group the Cal Anderson Park Alliance.

The ping pong table is hoped to help keep the area near the park’s restrooms and shelterhouse busy with players and activities and discourage camping and drug use around the facilities.

The table is the same style added last year to Westlake Park and is designed to (hopefully) withstand the rigors of urban ping pong play. CAPA plans to supply paddles and balls for the table through the summer but you can also bring your own. Play is first come, first served. Be fair. Share.
