This is the worst field and costs the most with horrible customer service. A indoor field costs $15 with air, while this one costs $22 |

| Review: |
The Good: Cheap entrance fee || Multiple fields || Laid-back staff || == The Bad: Costly entrance fee with air, $22.00 (excludes any rentals) || No fields with good grass/ground || Fields littered with large rocks || Sometimes staff is too laid-back to the point of carelessness || Some staff judge customers by how they look || == Personal Note: Acceptable field design, but filled with rocks the size of baseballs. Most of the staff is nice, but less than engaged in their work. Don't come here if you just happen to love paintball right off and can afford to buy some matching gear because i was placed with 2+ years experience. When I said I was just starting I was told, "Too bad, you don't look like a beginner" It was my 2rd time to play paintball. Completely ignored the customer. thus, very unpleasant - didn't get a chance to shoot anyone the entire day. Costs more than indoor arena, in Texas heat. The price to walk on the field is cheaper, but air costs $14 on top of that. All fields have bad ground and cover/bunkers, only piles of mulch and wood since they tore down the field with blow-ups to drill for oil and did not get around to replacing it. The first time and last time to play at Fun on the Run. |

This is undoubtedly the best field i have ever played at, great prices on paint, well kept fields, great refs. well atleast 05-06 there was some of the newer refs are....well lazy in the least. well just 1or2 of them, call paint check on your self and they might come, call it on someone else and they will stare at them like they can see the entire person from standing 50feet away looking one direction at them, and they do a crappy job of splitting the teams up for speedball, i always end up on a team with everynew player and 1 or 2 experienced players and the other team with almost everyone who has been playing for more then a year and who has there own gun, and they usualy put the people who are on teams together so the other team is completely screwed and when i say something they just say "well you have been playing for a while so its even" and im not a new player but i play pump, so i shouldnt be the person who is put to even the teams out.
But other then that i love this field. i would certainly recomend this field to new players and experienced players great fields. great field owner also helps this field alot
id rate the field a 7 because the new refs just make me mad. except ben and matlin(ispelled that wrong) they rock. |

Greetings Paintballers! I have actually been out of the loop for about 7 years and just recently got back into the sport. First of all the gear and equipment now kicks major tail! All that being said I was pleasantly surprised at how well run this field was. The Refs did not knit pick or have attitudes. The patrons where friendly, and most of all Safety was covered at all times. The fields at this park where really fun and laid out well.The prices where do-able. I usually play "Rogue" at a friends house and had all but sworn off organized fields. Thanks to the great experience I had here I will definently be back!

I first showed up here for a paintball clinic held by INFAMOUS. I noticed that there was a lot of woodsball fields. There are 2 speedball fields. 1 is an airball field that is rarely set up and the other is a hyperball field. Not many people who play their are good. |

While the field is great and so is the management the Refs are a major problem. I have been playing at this field for years and the management knows me by name the refs really couldnt care less. Actually... i should rephrase, the refs in General are fine its just 1 or 2 that seem to be an issue. They just do not care. Mainly Brian. while he is a good kid (and yes i say kid for a reason... he looks like he is only at the most 14) he makes for a horrible ref. the fact that he does not care what happens makes this a bad field when he is the ref. i have seen it several times (this also goes to show the kind of players you get out at this field) he sits there and watches players wipe paint all night and does not say a thing, when a player calls out in a speedball match he wont do what the rest of the refs do and let the other team know that a guy is comming out dead, he will just let the person get pounded.
This field is real big on safety. You get 1 warning for mask off or no barrel cover then you are gone. a great point. keeps people alive. they have many different fields. too many for me to cover here. their prices are... high. to say the least. they really could go lower in that respect. |

Xdrenaline - Xdrenaline is about the same level of quality, but a bit pricier. Fun on the Run is much closer to where I live (NRH). |
|
Directions
to the Field: |
Exit Jacksborough Hwy/Lake Worth Blvd and go south-east (towards Ft. Worth).
Turn right on Robert's Cut Off Road, immediately after the "Barato Bazzar."
The field entrance is about 100 yards on the right. If you pass the water tower, you've gone too far.

I've played at Fun on the Run 4 times over the last two months.
Staff
Overall - Fun on the Run's staff is average. Customers should expect to be treated respectfully, though not always.
Cashier - The cashier (manager?) is usually friendly and prompt.
Bottle refills - The staff running the refills are usually quick, but have never filled my bottle to its full capacity (4500psi). Some employees are inexperienced or slow refilling bottles.
Rules presentation - These are typically given in an 'off-the-cuff' manner, unless you're in a group full of kids or new players. If you tell the staff that you're an experienced player, they will usually give a short recap or skip it entirely.
Shop
- It's a trailer on wheels!
- They take debit/credit.
- Decent choice of hydration and snacks.
Refs
Maturity - They're not as apathetic as most 15-year-olds.
Rules - In four trips, I've only had one bad experience. On Nov 5, 06, in the middle of a match, one player was shot in the mask during a match. This player shouted 'out' and removed his mask while play was still going on (paintballs were still being fired). This happened right in front of the ref (20-30 yards), who did nothing. The ref should have intervened by either: blowing his whistle to end the match, or, kicked the player off the field for safety violations.
Rules cont. - That being said, earlier in the same day, a different ref took safety seriously during and after the match. Many of the other players were suffering from their masks fogging (it was a humid day). In between matches, the ref would allow people to wipe the inside of their masks, but only once all players had installed their barrel condoms and placed their markers on a table.
Lag Time - Refs can be sparse, especially if there are several parties going on. This can make the time between rounds very long.
Prices
Paint - $50 2000ct cases of paint (expect to buy one case if you're there all day and like to shoot and have a semi-auto marker)
Basic - $25 basic package (includes basic marker, expect mechanical problems)
Pro - $35 pro package (worth the extra $10: agitated hopper, semi-auto, good marker)
Both Basic and Pro include a mask, 100 paintballs, and all day air refills. Yes, you WILL need to buy more paint!
Fields
Speedball - In four trips, each time on a weekend, the speedball fields were unavailable to the general public due to team practices. I prefer a mix of woodsball/speedball, and FotR has a course built just for that! It's about 70yards by 40yards, and great for spectators to snap some cool action shots.
Woodsball - I've been to every woodsball field in *almost* every weather condition. There's only 1 bad field, known as 'The Jungle,' which is just thick brush and narrow paths. It's impossible to ref due to the density of the brush.
As for the rest of the woodsball fields, they are exciting and can be played either fast or slow. They are maintained well.
Siege - FotR includes a single castle/siege scenario field. The castle and field are well-built and laid-out.
Players
- The quality of the players at FotR varies by chance. I've met many excellent and helpful players. I've met a few annoying and disrespectful players.
- The field is family-friendly: many times I've seen a father/son team show up for a day.
- The layout of the staging area makes it easy to meet the other players.
Other Advice relevant to Fun on the Run
- Boots are not required. Don't expect to go trudging though any streams.
- Teamwork is the key to winning the woodsball/siege courses. If you're new, ask an experienced player if you can shadow them, or get their advice on strategy.
- Many restaurants and bars are located nearby, but not within walking range.
- Get the pro package and go all day for a great cardio experience.| Last edited on Friday, November 17th, 2006 at 7:59 pm PST |

I've played this field when it was on Church Road (back in the sticks) in 1991. The new field is a definate improvement due to the fact that over time the old field just plain got wore out because so many people played there! =) The new fields are great. Woods (with creek and forts) and speed ball are both available. The staff are pretty cool people with years and years of knowledge. It's family run and they care about their players satisfaction and have always been willing to make the player happy, if it's promptly fixing a quick cheapo repair on a players own gun, or swapping one of his rentals out if need be. Their equipment is pretty good and you get it all for a great price. |

Nice decent staff and refs. Proshop, Paintball Players' Supply, you can buy discounted paint and avoid the carry on paint fee. The shop is located off premises and contains very good quality equipment at decent prices.
Good fields / game variety. Fields are: last team standing CQB type town field, attack defend casttle, large terrain capture the flag field, woodsball bunker field on side of a hill, jungle field, flat woodsball bunker field, plus three speedball fields.
Game durations are typically ~15minutes. The refs set up two games per map then you go back to stage area and get ready for the next game. Some maps are a ~5minute walk. Only issue I have had is wait time between games. Sometimes these are less than 15 minutes. Most of the time you can wait for 25-30minutes. | Last edited on Sunday, September 24th, 2006 at 2:07 pm PST |

The staff at this field are amazing. this was my first field to play at and it was very good. I've only played air ball there but the fields are pretty well maintained after every 5 or 6 games they reinflate all the bunkers. the refs are very nice and help full. paint is pretty cheap but air is a little expensive.
over all I give it 9 outa 10. |

Great prices, refs, and courses. There are a ton of courses, I played there for like 3-4 hours and never got through all the courses. My only complaint is that all the courses are way too far away from the staging area, walking all the way out to a field in 100* heat with all your gear on is VERY tiring. But I had fun there and it was a great place, don't think I'll go back during the summertime but it is fun. |
