Stayed last night at the Golden Nugget Tourist Park in Epsom.
Couldn't get a nicer bunch of people as we arrived late and even though the office was closed they were most helpful and opened up to give us a site.
As we were leaving we noticed that just outside the park boom gate was an outdoor chess set and a nine hole mini golf course.
Anyone can play the chess game but no one was doing so early this morning.
Thanks Corunnaroad, have been looking for one to claim this locationless for a while now.

Chess board in Hyde Park, no one was playing on the big board but they were on the picnic table in the background

Spotted this outdoor chess set in station square in Latrobe. The chess pieces are tucked away inside the green area in the photo. I’m unsure if this is lock or if anyone can get the pieces out to play. TFTC

Walking around Melbourne filling in time until my flight home I saw these two outdoor chess sets in the forecourt of the State Library of Victoria. As a bonus both were in use at the time of my visit.

Spotted this outdoor chess set close to where we were staying in Sheperd's Bush, London. It was being used at the time, and there was list for those wanting to play next. Didn't realise outdoor giant chess was that popular....

Thanks for another one Corunnaroad.

Half a FTF? There is one at my local Westfield at Hornsby in northern Sydney - but it is located indoors. So it doesn't quite count so I won't race up to grab a photo tonight but will grab one on the weekend.

Go for it
