Goldenrod Park Recreation Center

Winter Park table tennis @ Goldenrod Park (Orlando Magic Rec Center)

This is an unofficial fan site for table tennis program run by the Orange County Parks and Rec Department

We are a friendly yet competitive Group.  Open to players age 18 and over of all abilities and skills levels.  Come enjoy the air conditioned facility, with rest rooms, water fountain, vending machines, and plenty of seating.  

Goldenrod Park also has free activities for the whole family (all ages):  A game room with a ping pong table, 2 pool tables, foosball, air hockey, and video games.   Outside the center is a tennis court and a playground featuring a shaded jungle gym, swings, and picnic tables

Attendance for this program is highly variable, it's recommended to bring a friend, make arrangements, or ask if anyone is attending on the Facebook group Greater Orlando Ping Pong & Table Tennis.  If you are at the facility, make use the free access to the game room and take a peek back in the multipurpose room (next to the fitness room) to see if anyone is in attendance before buying a pass or membership.

The players also have a WhatsApp group "Winter Park Table Tennis" to coordinate play, if interested ask about getting added when you attend the program.

• If multiple players are waiting, please share the table time, play time should be equitable for all in attendance

  • After your match, or after 20 minutes of practice, both players exit the table.  The player who is waiting the longest gets the table and may ask anyone to play.  This is not winner stays up!  The player waiting the longest can ask the winner to play if they like.
