Outdoor ping pong: the cities with the most tables
29 October 2026 · Sports
Berlin is the city with the most outdoor ping pong tables mapped on OpenStreetMap: 694 within 5 km of the centre, followed by Zurich (496) and Bern (268).
A paddle, a ball and a concrete table in the park: outdoor ping pong is one of the easiest games to play in a city. We counted the tables mapped on OpenStreetMap around the centre of 2,400 cities worldwide, all within the same 5 km circle.

How we counted
We counted the places in the “Ping pong tables” category in the SpotyMap database, which comes from OpenStreetMap (data from 21 October 2026), within a 5 km circle around the centre of each city (78.5 km²). The ranking includes cities with at least 250,000 inhabitants and capitals. If a city's centre falls inside the circle of another city already in the ranking, it isn't counted twice.
These numbers show how many places have been mapped on OpenStreetMap, not how many really exist: in some cities volunteers have mapped almost everything, in others a lot is still missing. If you know a place that isn't there, you can add it to OpenStreetMap: it will show up in SpotyMap after the next data update.
