OpenStreetMap
I pretty recently started to play table tennis, about weekly against my mate Roman. It is only then I noticed that table tennis tables TTT’s are a real ubiquity, especially on school-yards. Thus whenever you need a break, proceed to the nearby TTT and have fun. :-)
How to find? - I composed a umap containing all OSM mapped TTT’s in Switzerland. ( to date: 1081 TTTs)
You can contribute to the collection mapping TTTs and tagging the nodes with leisure=pitch + sport=table_tennis. Here is the according OSM Wiki Page.
These tags are btw. the key to get your own data-set of TTTs over your region from overpass-turbo.eu.
Good spin!

Are all the tennis table (leisure=pitch + sport=table_tennis) supposed to be outdoor, and those inside mapped with (leisure=sports_hall+ sport=table_tennis)? or should we add a specific tag location=outdoor
Is the access=public/private widely used? for example, a lot of tennis tables inside closed school grounds (in leisure=schoolyard) are only for students so should be tagged as private
the wiki is not really clear about that

I would propose to see the somehow accessible outdoor tennis table as the prototype. So I would see the location=outdoor as ambiguous tagging. Also access=yes. There can be restrictions in access such as access=customers (in a public pool area or fenced campsite areas) though.

I made a mapcomplete theme for table tennis tables once upon a time.
However, there is now also the more complete theme for any sport pitch - allthough that is a bit a work in progress (it still needs an english version and a specific icon per sport)
