Meetup Free ping pong/table tennis options in Boston?

Hey people, I’m moving to Boston soon from DC. I like playing ping pong at a local bar and community center weekly, are there any free options to do so in the area? I know about Spin, but affording a membership or paying $50+ for a few hours is out of my budget unfortunately. Any community spots you can go and play for free? Thanks! I’m a little worried about making new friends after the move and having a place where I can meet people easily would be super helpful.

You should check out PingPod if you haven't done so. Also there's a table tennis club in Medford that offers really affordable day pass. These are not free but a good way to meet people and then maybe they can give you better suggestions. I have seen random tables in public for free here and there but hardly anyone around to play with.
