The best part of the program is welcoming approximately 35 players from all walks of life.” We also offer Ping Pong Parkinson, a supportive program designed for people living with Parkinson’s disease, which has moved to a Monday schedule. Watch this video to learn more about the benefits of table tennis for people living with Parkinson’s disease: Finding Joy Again – Parkinson’s and Ping Pong (PPP) 4K.
