Those of us former military who were stationed in Europe might be very interested in some foosball tables!

Or on tee boxes. Might see little exercise then.

Then we can install indoor shuffleboard tables and, why not, dart boards.Seems more suitable for a tavern. Maybe one of the multiple drinking establishments might step up to the plate??
Dart boards and indoor shuffleboard are already at rec centers.

Best ever tables! In the early 70's that was this was the game of choice. I played in Newport News and Gloucester. Great memories.

My friend with bone cancer used them daily.

The village rec centers are operated by one person, who is responsible for moving around the tables and chairs for meetings. It's hard work and many rec center employees quit the job because of it.
I can’t disagree with you but I guess I was thinking a foosball table would be easier than moving a pool table because I sure TV probably was thinking about putting them in the Rec center. I really don’t think the Pool players would like foosball tables be placed in the billiard room. Beside I was just thinking Foosball even at 360 lbs. which I don’t think they would weigh that much, also they would be easier to move than a 1,000+ lb. pool table then having to level a pool table everytime you move it back. I’m sure TV will think of something. Thanks for your comment, retiredguy123.

I have seen one used often at a swimming pool.

Have only seen one used once but we are all getting older and can see why their is a need.

No room in villages pool halls for foosball tables unless the get smaller pool tables or remove some. HH don’t even have room to set behind pool table while play going on.

A separate room for each would be necessary for sure.
