Comments on Dover's Review

Dover Friday, July 18th, 2008 Period of Field Use: 3 months Last There: July 16th, 2008 Paintball Experience: More than 5 years Other Fields in the Area: This is the first field I have played in the southern Okanagan. I have played at Salmon Arm, Vernon and Kelowna but they were speedball tournaments. Directions to the Field: South end of Penticton, you can't miss it as you pass the Go-Karts on your right (heading south), the paintball field is just further up the hill on your left. Review: I give the field an 8 / 10 as it was extremely well run, considering the couple Jack and Barb are super cheery and happy to run an efficient, safe, and fun paintball field. Safety is stricty enforced with a hand stamp required with chrono'ing of markers before they are allowed on field. Two fields: one bark mulch covered three-man speedball court, and a larger rec ball area with wood bunkers and pallets and such. Hours are not as good as those in more urban areas, but obviously better during the summer. No proshop is available, and there is no paintball store in Penticton, the closest being Hardcore Paintball, 1 hour north in Kelowna. They have a vending machine with snacks and canned pop, but I advise bring lots of water, as this is Canada's only desert region. I thought it was kinda weird playing on sand, it was like playing paintball in California! Last edited on Friday, July 18th, 2008 at 1:31 pm PST
