Luis Gil, Estepona’s councilor of the Sports Department, has ensured that the Forte-branded table tennis gear is primed to the games’ regulations and easily accessible for people of all ages.
To maintain its quality and prevent damage from vandalism, the tables feature a 55-millimeter-thick playing surface with a thermoplasticized frame.

The city council aims to push for more free sports, claiming ‘sport and physical exercise are key to improving people’s quality of life.’
Gil explained that low-impact activities like table tennis help residents stay active without damaging joints, reduce stress, and improve coordination and cognitive health.
The effort follows several other outdoor fitness areas built in the last year, including a calisthenics zone at Parque Ferial y Deportivo and two paddle tennis courts in Nueva Atalaya, all free and accessible for residents.
