These are the most basic form of outdoor chess "tables" basically just chess boards attached.  There are several of these, most of them graffitified, outside OISE (teacher's College) at the corner of Bloor and Spadina.

The tables in Brampton Ontario (on Vivian Lane which leads to the Rose Theatre off Main street). Ten years after the grand opening. They are in immaculate shape but have not very much pedestrian traffic or players.

    Beginnings
    I have started this discussion forum with the primary intent of featuring outdoor chess tables across the world (hopefully eventually with chess facilitators). However, other chess topics that appear here on chessfacetoface may also be discussed.

    I want to be in touch with people around the world who share an interest of promoting chess at outdoor chess tables. And I also encourage readers who are travelling to take pictures of outdoor chess tables and share them here along with some commentary.
