Other Fields
in the Area: |
* California Paintball Park - Good fields, They make hot food for lunch. Friendly staff.
* Fury Paintball in Acton - Not very impressive, hadly ever anyone there the few times I've gone.
* Jungle Island - Great park, but an hour and a half drive for me.
* SC Village - If heaven had paintball, the fields would look like the ones at SC. |

Directions
to the Field: |
It's very easy to get to Conquest from the freeway. Unlike most paintball parks where you have to exit the freeway and navigate through uncharted wilderness for miles it seems to find them off of dirt roads. At conquest, you exit on osborne off of the 210 freeway, make 2 turns, and go straight for 2 or 3 miles. It's that easy. The only thing that would make it easier to locate would be posting a more noticeable sign for the parks entrance, as if you are new there and blink, you'd miss the turn-off. |

Conquest paintball park in tajunga is in my opinion a very underrated field, that is one of the unknown jewels in southern california paintball. Their staff is very very friendly. They have really good refs who go out of their way to watch out for players and player safety. As an example, when you get shot out, ANY person that the refs usually see get shot that are in the middle of the firefights, the refs will start yelling as loud as they can to let the player out, and they all carry towels so tha they can shield players while they do paintchecks even.
Their fields, as everyone else has stated are really good. Compared to most parks they don't have alot of fields to play on,... but in complete honesty you never notice because the fields that they DO have, are on par with any field you'd see at the best paintball park out there. And they do a good job of keeping games going consistently.
I'm a moderator over at the X7og.net forums, an online forum for owners of the Tippmann X7, and in september we held a large "get together" type of game for all of the forum members located around los angeles and southern california. The staff was VERY accommodating with us reserving a private game despite the fact that 90% of the people who would be attending had never met before in person. The ref that was with us for the day was absolutely great, I can't remember his name, but he had a beard and the loudest red hawaiian shirt that I've ever seen in my life. :)
We had such a great time playing that day at conquest, that just a few days later we all decided to form our own team. In a way, it's partially due to just how great of a day we had at conquest, which is partially due to the friendly staff.
On our teams website we have photos and 2 links to the two different youtube videos that we were able to post from our games at conquest.
You can see them at http://www.foxhoundops.com . Just go into the photos, and video section and you'll see for yourself just how nice the fields there are.
A word of warning though, if you are a 100% through and through speedballer, don't even bother. There are no inflatable bunkers,... no slick astroturff to slde on, and not many people running around in the typical uniformed neon yellow pajamas that are oh so popular. Conquest is great for if you want to play in "natural" fields. There are alot of rocks on the ground,.... it IS in a riverbed. |
