Teqball is a football-based sport, played on a specially-curved table (the Teq table), which is attracting a new generation of athletes and amateur enthusiasts (teqers), whose ambition is to develop their technical skills, concentration and stamina. The sport, which was created in Hungary in 2012 is a truly gender-equitable game, as the rules define that teqball shall be played between two (singles) or four players (doubles), irrespective of gender. 

Rules of Teqball

Outdoor chess in Városliget has a centuries-old history, so in keeping with this tradition, we placed 13 chess tables in the Sports Center, some of which are specially designed to be wheelchair accessible.

The Youth Sports Grounds are open for use by the general  public; however, please note that during teaching time pupils enjoy priority:

• 200-metre, rubber-surfaced running cirle
• long jump pit
• two multifunctional tracks
• outdoor fitness equipment

Wall climbing is becoming more and more popular in Budapest, which is why we have installed an outdoor climbing wall in the City Park. The climbing wall of the City Park Sports Centre is located on the existing hilly part of the area, where we have set up climbing sections with varying levels of inclination as well as with unique and organic shapes. The grips placed on the wall provide an ideal form of exercise primarily for older children. The lowest point of the approximately 120 grips is at 50 cm, and the highest is approximately at 210 cm. The climbing wall in the City Park designed for children is guaranteed to be a favourite.

The new Városliget Sports Centre has 4 table-tennis tables, where amateurs and advanced players can enjoy their favourite sport in a professional environment. 

Pétanque is a ball game of French origin that can be played in singles, doubles, or even triples. In pétanque the objective is to score points by having boules closer to the target than your opponent after all boules have been thrown. This is achieved by throwing or rolling boules closer to the small target ball, called a cochonnet, or by hitting the opponents' boules away from the target, while standing inside a circle with both feet on the ground. 

The set of balls can be rented in the Pavilions next to the field.

The permanent orienteering course in the City Park was implemented through the cooperation of the Hungarian Orienteering Association and the Liget Budapest Project.
