Open Play Table Tennis
About
Open Play Table Tennis is a free drop-in session in the gymnasium at Gertrude Ederle Recreation Center, a city-run recreation centre on Manhattan's Upper West Side. You turn up, find a table and play, so it suits casual rallies as much as serious practice, and there is no class or instructor involved. This session is on Tuesday 13 October from noon to 2pm. A second session follows on Tuesday 20 October at the same time, and those two are the only table tennis listings on this calendar. Our listing marks the sessions as free. No age limit, equipment arrangements or registration are printed in our record, so check with the recreation centre before you go about whether you should bring your own paddle and ball, and whether any membership or ID is needed at the door. No subway or bus directions are printed for this venue, so use a journey planner to find the nearest station. Because the session runs in a gymnasium, wear indoor sports shoes and bring water. For other free recreation centre activity, the Lost Battalion Hall Recreation Center in Queens lists indoor cycling, youth sports and after-school sessions this month, and Riverside Field House on the Upper West Side offers mat pilates and yoga.
