Kirkstall: Leeds ParkyPING – Table Tennis Group

November 4, 2025 @ 1:30 pm

Ping Pong Pete coaching a ParkyPING session

Leeds ParkyPING!, a table tennis club for people living with Parkinson’s Disease, is opening for a second regular session in West Leeds after a successful first year.

ParkyPING! meets at St Stephen’s Church Hall, Kirkstall, on the first and third Monday of each month. The new Tuesday session will meet with the same pattern, starting on Tuesday, 6 August.

It’s now recognised that exercise is the best, perhaps the only way, of slowing down the symptoms of Parkinson’s. And table tennis is one of the best forms of exercise for that purpose. As well as being aerobic, table tennis help with balance, hand-eye coordination, reflexes, and making split second decisions.

Members of Leeds ParkyPING! meet to bat and chat together. The group includes women and men of all abilities, from complete beginners to people who play and used to play in Leeds Table Tennis League.

If you or someone you know has Parkinson’s and would like to join the group, please get in touch via Leeds ParkyPING! website or by e-mail: parkyping@gmail.com.
