We play spikeball
Two teams, a ball and a miniature trampoline: that's all you need to play spikeball! This unusual sport is played between two teams of two, and the aim is for each team to bounce the ball off the trampoline after a maximum of three touches. Each time the ball touches the ground, a point is scored. Try it out in the open air at Square Chérioux (15th arrondissement) every day!

Sharpen your senses with showdown
Born in Canada in 1970 by blind pong players who wanted to play an activity similar to table tennis, showdown is played on a special table, equipped with edges and goals. Players score points by using a racket to send a sound ball into the opponent's goal. To ensure fairness between visually impaired and sighted players, all players wear masks.
